Hear me when I speak and just listen and try not to be
Some kind of self-righteous high being with the opposite mislead me
To better your mind and see this is a story of how we can't be.

They're building you up to tear you down
They won't admit it but it's true
Smiling advice to end with your frown
Cuz they don't want what's best for you.
Its sad, I know, I know
But you know I'm something else
And now's my time to just sit back and tell that

You don't know just when to stop.
You're living life to be on top,
So start back here and be realin'
And just admit the way you feelin'
See we're all one page learning gang
And it's true that
We all want to be the baddest;
We all have a little baggage,
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it;
We are driving this float down
In this pride parade

And I'm not saying that I'm any better than you
Sometimes I have motives that are just so stupid
And I play the fool
But man you're killing me
The charade has got to end
So stop acting like you know everything
Because you're missing the point
You were supposed to be my friend

Just try just trying to lean away
Take me to another place where I know I know
Whats happening to my head and to my dreams?
cuz I want I want, I need I need
Some piece of mind and clarity
So just take take my hand and let's leave
