Ali for Cody (Senses Fail)

I'm giving up all expectations
That I will live a meaningful life
I once was filled with inspiration
That lion heart has lost It's pride
I am not the person that I thought that I would be

I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren't beautiful, Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line, Held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give up giving in

Some people never will go crazy
What horrible lives they must lead
I'm gonna try and paint new scenery
And build a window to help me see
I am not the person that I thought that I would be

I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren't beautiful, Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line, Held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give up giving in

I have got
my eye lids stapled shut
I have failed
But I'm used to it
The past is just that
It's a sunken old ship
There will be moments
I pretend
that I can raise it up
Up out
From the depths

Who the F--k am I kidding?
I was born with the curse of always giving in (Giving in)
Every day is another chance to make peace with myself
But i would rather play dead. (Rather play dead)

Sure it looks easy when It's through borrowed eyes
The hero has a thousand faces, None of them matching mine
F--k the world, F--k the stars, F--k the person you are
But nothing will matter, If I don't give up folding my cards.

I keep tripping over the same steps
The stars aren't beautiful, Advice is never useful
And I still walk the line, Held tight with my regrets
I'd rather die than live like this
I gotta give up giving in.
