Criticism and self realization

One by one, they stand single file To see the king of the hill atop his worthless pile The king has no clothes Throw stones, watch him implode All for one or are we all alone Brick by brick, it's a house built on lies Because illusion is easy to young adoring eyes It's not hard to see Through deceit, make them believe Fight the stampede, be the one to lead (All my missteps, I retrace Every failure, I'll erase My pride is gone I find the strength to carry on Looking back, what's left of me Am I the person that I wanna be Do I belong I find the strength to carry on) Rung by rung, he's climbed up to the top But once the engine is running, it's hard to make it stop Ignore what you're told Eyes closed, dig from below Don't care where you're from, just where you go Step by step, we're ignoring the signs That cocky bastard is planting the seeds of his demise There's nothing to gain, only shame We fan the flames Fight through the pain, live another day Just one more day (All my missteps, I retrace Every failure, I'll erase My pride is gone I find the strength to carry on Looking back, what's left of me Am I the person that I wanna be) Do I belong Do I belong Writing's on the wall That Cheshire smile says you don't have the courage to take the fall You're not fooling anyone You're no one (All my missteps, I retrace Every failure, I'll erase My pride is gone I find the strength to carry on Looking back, what's left of me Am I the person that I wanna be) Do I belong Do I belong
