One Day I'll Be Gone Too Lyrics

I got CEOs on TV screens

And VPs trying to lecture me

Ignorance is bliss so make sure

You don't learn from what you see

I'm about to become

Another cog in the machine, yeah

Grind my way to the top to find out

It never meant a thing

Pieces of me keep falling off

I wander aimless, but I'm not lost

I'm so afraid of being someone I'm not

Why ascend to greatness

If I'll disintegrate anyway

Slow down for a second

Sit down

Sit down for a second

I'll tell you everything I've learned

Hey kid

It ain't you against the world

It's only you against who you were

The year before

You were rolling in the dirt

And when you saw that fame and fortune

God, I know it hurt

But you're way beyond your worst

And that's all anything

And everything is worth

One day I'll be gone

But until then, keep hanging on

And even when that moment comes

I'll be smiling down on you, kid
