Down, to the Earth, to the sharpest rocks you fall
Twisted both ankles and now forced to crawl
Up from the cracks in the sidewalk, the very soil wants you to fail
It laughs and eats away at the deepest point under your nails
And here in a world where everybody else knows best
As you try to make progress they remain unimpressed
Self-imposed judges looking for anything to take
Good or bad offended by any kind of change
So hold tight to the crutch that is your way of life
You can't expect to find the truth without giving something up
Now you're criticized by those who can't accept criticism themselves
But every single mistake you make is somewhere they can dwell
And they are hoping you will forever remain lost
Is their approval really worth the cost?
So hold tight to the crutch that is your way of life
But you can't expect to find the truth without giving something up
So let go of the past and look ahead
To the future as we all wade through the muck
I, I can't see
They keep trying to drag me down
And I can't breath
But they refuse to help me out
And now I see
That they don't always know what's right
My family
Is poison trying to keep me blind
Let go
