Pedestal

I got my ready, set grip and I keep it just in case
I woke up early this morning and I feel so strange
Well there is something inside of me, it's eating at my brain
I'll take some medicine for it and then I'll be okay
I will show you my faults, show you my faults
Show you my, show you my faults and then
And then you'll shove it in my face
I got nothing more to give, only a bitter taste
Never doing what I want and only making pocket change
My insecurities are heavy and hang on a string
Well you can tell me what you want, you won't get a fucking thing
Oh, yeah, I showed you my faults, showed you my faults
Showed you my, showed you my faults and then
And then you shoved it in my face
Oh, yeah, I gave you my all, gave you my all
Gave you my, gave you my all and then
And then you shoved it in my face
You've got some money put aside, it's enough to hold your head up
Everything is going fine and nothing else seems to matter
You hold your pedestal high but no, nothing lasts forever
Show me something that you like and I'll write you something better
I've got some problems you created, no I never say never
If you find a little time maybe you could make it better
You hold your pedestal high but no, nothing lasts forever
Show me something that you like and I'll write you something better
Oh, yeah, I showed you my faults, showed you my faults
Showed you my, showed you my faults and then
And then you shoved it in my face
Oh, yeah, I gave you my all, gave you my all
Gave you my, gave you my all and then
And then you shoved it in my face
