about
this song represents the fine line between success and humility...the experience of achievements made, and the acknowledgment of those who support your efforts. do you stay true to yourself, or become something different? someone different? do you, or those around you even recognize who stands before them any more? have you become someone who feels a sense of entitlement, and in turn hurt those who truly stand for you? has your ego superseded your heart? ~cd
lyrics
As the dust begins to settle
I’m wondering how
I’m wondering why
Refuse to take your foot off the petal
Keep pushing on
It’s what you wanted all along
The cracks in the walls they’re screaming
They know its coming’ soon
Watching in slow motion
As the darkness takes hold of you
Check your ego at the door
Nobody gives a damn anymore
Use ‘em up
Are you through
Wink at your reflection
You beg you plead, you implore
Head in your hands, knees to the floor
Show ‘em up
You’re long overdue
Another dose of rejection
Choose your vice to make it better
They don’t understand
It’s all part of the plan
Your life plays out to the letter
You won’t succumb
You think you’re the only one
The cracks in the walls they’re screaming
They know it’s comin’ soon
Watching in slow motion
As the darkness takes hold of you
Check your ego at the door
Nobody gives a damn anymore
Use ‘em up
Are you through
Wink at your reflection
You beg you plead, you implore
Head in your hands, knees to the floor
Show ‘em up
You’re long overdue
Another dose of rejection
Keep runnin
Keep movin
Make your escape
Keep hidin’
denyin
there’s only one way
(Repeat Chorus)
I’m wondering how

As the darkness takes hold of you
Check your ego at the door
Nobody gives a damn anymore
