Hopeless Ambition
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Watch me as I self destruct
Under the weight of everything I wanted
Watch me as I self destruct
I gained the world, but it was not enough
Our idols are why we're broken
Please show us that hope is
A hopeless ambition
So we turned away
From the gods we'd made
And we made to break
So only truth remains
All our heroes will fail us
Everyone will fall
All our heroes will fail us
We'll forget them all
All our heroes will fail us
Everyone will fall
All our heroes will fail us
We'll forget them all
Like a crown on a dead man
All our praises are wasted on fame
Like a crown on a dead man
Every king takes his throne for granted
The one who flies the highest
Is doomed to fall the hardest
The one who flies the highest
Is doomed to fall the hardest
Our idols are why we're broken
Please show us that hope is
A hopeless ambition
So we turned away
From the gods we'd made
And we made to break
So only truth remains
All our heroes will fail us
Everyone will fall
All our heroes will fail us
We'll forget them all
All our heroes will fail us
Everyone will fall
All our heroes will fail us
We'll forget them all
Watch me as I self destruct
Under the weight of everything I wanted
Watch me as I self destruct
I gained the world, but it was not enough
