One step forward and two steps back
Always keeps you searching for the things you lack
Like a mad dog yanking at a rusty chain
Your trapped in a orbit around an ever growing drain

So you hold out hope like a ignorant dope
You got to keep that flame alive
And you learn to cope by ignoring the scope
Keeps existence justified

There’s always one more shot when it’s all you got
The lies can keep it real
It’s all you need to plant that seed
When the devils there to make a deal

Damn this world of frustration
Can’t climb out this hole
Damn this world of frustration
It’s taking a toll

Everyone’s shouting and no one hears
It’s been the same old story for untold countless years
Your just poor lost fool on an endless chase
There will be another poor fool to take your empty place
