I'd fail if they let me, I'd fail on purpose Because them and I don't share the same idea for success I'd walk away from the false promises of a bright future I'd walk to freedom, not towards their awaiting capture Their three white walls I'd stare at all day The above minimum wage, the hourly pay live in an empty apartment, with a cashier job listening through the walls to the neighborly sobs I'd sit and think about every thing from leaves on the autumnal tree to the fact that there is no one sitting on the bed next to me from the worms who flounder under the dirt to why I personally was put on this earth The meaning of love to the stars above Galaxies and galaxies full of stars the old veteran who drinks in the bar The biggest smile on my face bigger than you'll have at the end of this race Sitting alone in the thoughts in my mind in the thoughts that I think to pass the time I do not envy who you will be I am perfectly fine being me.

Envy.
I'd fail if they let me, I'd fail on purpose Because them and I don't share the same idea for success I'd walk away from the false promises of a bright future I'd walk to freedom, not towards their awaiting capture Their three white walls I'd stare at all day The above minimum wage, the hourly pay live in an empty apartment, with a cashier job listening through the walls to the neighborly sobs I'd sit and think about every thing from leaves on the autumnal tree to the fact that there is no one sitting on the bed next to me from the worms who flounder under the dirt to why I personally was put on this earth The meaning of love to the stars above Galaxies and galaxies full of stars the old veteran who drinks in the bar The biggest smile on my face bigger than you'll have at the end of this race Sitting alone in the thoughts in my mind in the thoughts that I think to pass the time I do not envy who you will be I am perfectly fine being me.
