Zhir Vengersky - There is No Golden Rule

It's not easy to get up every day
Hey now, hey now, hey now
I'm not one to jump at paying to play
Hey now, hey now, hey now
When all is said and done, and I've a-got my dime
Is there anything to show for my sacrificed time
They wonder why I want to get away
Hey now, hey now, hey now

I was said to be so smart, the gifted child
Until the burnout hit in irreverent style
A spiral of self-sabotage feeling wild
Find my footing and start the uphill fight again
Back into the line
Feel like I'll at long last be on my way again
Back into the line
Can't let myself retreat to where I've been
Back into the line, yeah

I'm on a mission to say
Where I'm at is okay
I have no golden rule
That I have to obey

Ironic how I never practice that which I preach
No effort to bring about that of which I speak
I'm all bark, no bite, paranoid of who's watching me
The workers' commonwealth can't build itself
Never take a chance
Can't turn nothing up to 11 cuz I fear the 12
Never take a chance
I'll leave it up to someone else to raise some hell
Never take a chance, yeah

I'm on a mission to say
Where I'm at is okay
I have no golden rule
That I have to obey

Creeping self-doubt every step
Pulls a ball and chain
Creeping anxiety every second
Means the journey is a pain

It's all behind me now
But it keeps on coming back
It's all behind me now
But it keeps on coming back
It's all behind me now
But it keeps on coming back
