Floating on the surface of immobilization
The undertow is strong and pulls on my motivation
A powerful current pulls you toward the depths
And only those who swim strong will see success
CHORUS:
I'll stay here just a while
It's good to be king
Are you in denial?
Until I'm shoved out the way
And then I'll struggle
For another day
Pulling on the chains but the weights are massive
It's looking much more comfortable to just remain passive
Until the dust-collecting is too much to bare
Until a slab of meat pulls the beast from its lair
CHORUS
Growing on the praise you got, you feel a bit bloated
Risen to the peak with no fear to show it
And then you hang suspended in the air with ease
Until you slip and fall off this unending trapeze
