Lyrics

Rise Above It

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.

My life runs so smooth. I'm never late

I feel obliged just to play it safe

I want to shake things up and find what's missing

I'm not alive, just making a living

And I want to rise above it. I want to rise above it

I want to feel like a reckless kid

Screw something up just to say I did

I'm paying for all of this stuff I don't really need

I could own it but right now it owns me

And I want to rise above it. Get rid of the weight

I want to rise above it. Get my life straight

I want to rise above it. I can't pretend

I want to rise above it all and be myself again

I took a walk down the path of least resistance

Took money from the man I'd been keeping at a distance

Then for the sake of position I ate my pride

'Til there was nothing left for me to compromise

I want to rise above it

Say this is me. Say this is what I am

Say take it or leave it. Make them understand

I can't be bought. I won't get caught on the run

I don't need this. I won't take that from anyone

I want to rise above it
