Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We have tried and failed
We have stumbled and fallen
We have tried a new taste
And we spit it back out
We have taken a left turn
When we meant to turn right
We lost sight of our origins
But our past never lost sight of us
Lost sight of us
[Chorus]
Not emulation, 'cause that's not this hard
Not imitation, 'cause that won't take you far
It's not digression, 'cause I'm falling straight up
It is progression, I'm not afraid to stand up
[Verse 2]
I don't know what I expected
But I expected to be great
I said "I'm trying my hardest"
But he didn't like the tape
Take a look at what you're doing
And tell me I'm too late
You say we're walking backwards
Yeah, well, that dead horse sure can't run
It sure can't run
[Chorus]
Not emulation, 'cause that's not this hard
It's not imitation, 'cause that won't take you far
It's not digression, 'cause I'm falling straight up
It is progression, I'm not afraid to stand up
[Bridge]
The truth
[Instrumental]
I know I can
I know I will
I know
I know what I have to do
And now you'll have to listen and I hope it won't hurt
I've seen your poison, you've done your worst
I've seen your better and I can't believe it's true
You've lost the truth that used to live inside of you
