Concrete

Don't give up When you're down stand back up That's the way forward, always has been Grip the rock, you'll grow a thick skin Drop your pride Buy the ticket and take the ride Never wait for the right time to take back your life, do it now So sick of weakness infiltrating Under the guise of outward confidence, ego inflating Waiting for the chance to put you down Repeat the cycle, you think everyone's against you now But who gets hurt when no one comes around? But it's a brand new day Redemption only comes to those who see What they've become and who they want to be So let your pretensions melt away Take a breath to clear the air You're becoming self aware Now you'll never get clipped by their stupid little ego trips No way Take a step away 'cause the blame game is child's play Don't dwell on it Cynical chronic anxiety; self fulfilling prophecy Just live for today, a moment you evaluate is wasted already Wasted already! It's a brand new day Redemption only comes to those who see What they've become and who they want to be So Let your pretensions melt away There's no guarantee that your relationships will realign But if you're fortunate enough to be forgiven, pay it forward down the line
