Criticism And Self Realization Songtext / Lyric

One by one, they stand single file

To see the king of the hill atop his worthless pile

The king has no clothes

Throw stones

Watch him implode

All for one or are we all alone



Brick by brick, it's a house built on lies

Because illusion is easy to young adoring eyes

It's not hard to see

Through deceit

Make them believe

Fight the stampede, be the one to lead






All my missteps, I retrace

Every failure, I'll erase

My pride is gone

I find the strength to carry on

Looking back, what's left of me

Am I the person that I wanna be

Do I belong

I find the strength to carry on



Rung by rung, he's climbed up to the top

But once the engine is running, it's hard to make it stop

Ignore what you're told

Eyes closed

Dig from below

Don't care where you're from, just where you go



Step by step, we're ignoring the signs

That cocky bastard is planting the seeds of his demise

There's nothing to gain

Only shame

We fan the flames

Fight through the pain, live another day

Just one more day



All my missteps, I retrace

Every failure, I'll erase

My pride is gone

I find the strength to carry on

Looking back, what's left of me

Am I the person that I wanna be

Do I belong

Do I belong



Writing's on the wall

That Cheshire smile says you don't have the courage to take the fall

You're not fooling anyone

You're no one



All my missteps, I retrace

Every failure, I'll erase

My pride is gone

I find the strength to carry on

Looking back, what's left of me

Am I the person that I wanna be

Do I belong

Do I belong
