contest and contempt Lyrics

I'm doing my best 

To keep up with the rest

But the pace is too high

To ride up in the sky

Been doing my best

To keep up with the rest

But the cost is too high

A competition so hard

A mountain so vast

A struggle so real

It's going too fast

A fire that's burning

A fire that's burning 

Only for them 

And not for you and me, or us

Only for them, not him, not her

A fire that's burning

Only for them

I've fallen behind 

I'm stuck in the past

No reason to smile

No reason to laugh

A reason to give up

Is weighing on me

The battle is on

We can do this, come on 

We can fight it and win

We can make them give in

So the fire that's burning

Is not only for them

Cause now there's no hope for

You and me, or us

Only for them, not him, not her

A fire that's burning

Only for them
