You could never really win
Not to say you were born to lose
You were born to take tenth place
Out of twenty in a field
Mistakes flow through your veins
In a mediocre way
Your life's a living hell
You've got gremlins in your blood cells
And monsters in your bed
They're haunting you again
Oh, but it must be this place
At least that's what you say, say, say
[Chorus: Anthony Raneri]
You don't love you anymore
Cast your demons aside
Keep them close enough to know what you're running from
Soon you won't feel this anymore
Cast your demons aside
Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on
[Verse 2: Anthony Raneri]
A fire used to burn
In your heart and in your eyes
You used to dream, you used to care
You used to love, you used to fight
For anything at all
You'd cover up your bedroom walls with who you want to be
Now you're afraid to be yourself
So you search the malls for something else
You read magazine and watch MTV
You've practiced it, and everything
Oh, you're dressed to impress
But you look like a drag queen
[Coro]
[Verse 3: Anthony Raneri]
So keep your head up high
Stretch inches into miles
Because Brooklyn wasn't built in just a day
Focus on important things
Be your own god
Like every ghost that held you down was gone
Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on
