There’s something that’s inside me
Everywhere I go
It tries to disregard me
It tries to run the show

I opened up a can of worms
But that’s not any of your concern
If nothing else at least I’ve learned
Build it up to watch it burn

I did not win the contest
I did not win the fight
Losing became a habit
I wasn’t all that bright

I chased and chased to no avail
I tried and tried but always failed
I fell and fell time and time again
But I never ever got derailed

I stood up to my opponents
I had fortitude and drive
I gathered information
On what it’s like to thrive

I changed the stars above me
To better suit my needs
I became a man I’m proud of
Agree to disagree
