My knees are aching
Cause I've been trying oh so hard
To get a better picture
I end up watching from below

My back is broken
Cause I've been bending it so low
To make you somewhat taller
I think you stepped right on my face

Chorus
I know
My own fault
Shouldn't walk around
With my eyes closed
Shouldn't try to speak
With my mouth shut
Should've learned
When to duck

Something's bound to hit ya...

My teeth are shattered
Cause I've been grinding 'em so hard
To keep from screaming out
It seems now all that I can do

My mind is twisted
Cause I've been bending it around
This state of separation
Now all I'm left with is a waste

(And yet)
You never know
The balance ever shifting
And he who watches from below
Could be tomorrow's king
Another day
Could bring a change in power
That should've never had a place
Between two human beings

(And anyway) It's not enough
It's never gonna be enough
So learn to compromise
Or just fucking let it die!

Chorus

Something's bound to hit ya...

My eyes are open
All else is broken
But my eyes are open
