Out of despair comes greatness, of misery comes bliss
You have to taste disaster to enjoy heaven's kiss
What will be your achievements when all is said and done?
The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave just one

Don't want to be the coward that is me
I want to be free from these chains of mediocrity
But something holds me back
There's nothing I can do
Everything turns black
When I die once again for you

What would be your next move then, if you happened to fail?
Would you remain grounded or would you fight tooth and nail?
Do you have what it takes to go to the very top?
There is a fine line, brother, between success and flop

Don't want to be the coward that is me
I want to be free from these chains of mediocrity
But something holds me back
There's nothing I can do
Everything turns black
When I die once again for you

No matter how strong the will
No matter how I try to force myself
Although I long for that thrill
My ambition lies untouched on the shelf

Maybe I'm content with the way things are
Maybe I don't want to reach that far

No matter how my heart aches
To take the leap and try to reach the stars
I sigh, my confidence breaks
I go through death again and lick my scars

Maybe I'm content with the way things are
Just drop me off at the nearest bar....
