lyrics

‘Rise Above Myself’

I’ve gone too far, to be back in the place I’ve been trying to escape.
No way Know-how, puts me back in a race I don’t run.

Here I am, where I am, if I can...

Rise above myself, yeah,
make that sacrifice - breakaway,
I live and die for it, someday (I’ll pay),
but laugh in the face of it - always!

No good to me –when what you create lacks creativity,
You don’t see, advancement to you is what you steal.

I don’t expect much, don’t expect too much, your guardian angel’s hooked.

There you stand, cap in hand, now you understand?

Rise above myself, yeah,
make that sacrifice - breakaway,
I live and die for it, someday (I’ll pay),
but laugh in the face of it - always!
