Deny Me

Tell me did your pride bleed

When you see me succeed?

Is that the gist of your story?

Now you best get used to it

'Cause I ain't about to quit

And I'm just now gettin' started

Shame me, claim me or deceive me

You grow sick every time you hear me say, believe me

Every time I get one foot up, you wanna tear it down

You deny me

Deceiver

Every time I get one foot up, you tear it down, knock it down, tear it down

Believer

Deny me

Oh, I feel your hand on my throat

As well as the knife in my back

And the whole time you keep smilin'

What is your reason for this?

Why won't your hate just quit?

Life would be better if you weren't struggling

Shame me, claim me or deceive me

You grow sick every time you hear me say, believe me

Every time I get one foot up, you wanna tear it down

You deny me

Deceiver

And every time I get one foot up, you tear it down, knock it down, tear it down

Believer

Deny me

What's wrong with your world?

Doesn't taste the same as mine?

Are the things the same as mine?

Pain, agony, regret, fear

A strange mystery, take it away

Somehow did your pride bleed?

Every time that I succeed

Now that you know, I'd keep trying

Can your weak mind adjust

While now that I'm feeling it?

Every time I get one foot up, you wanna tear it down

You deny me

Deceiver

Every time I get one foot up, you tear it down, knock it down, tear it down

Believer

Deny me

Every time I get one foot up, up, up, woah!

You deny me

Deceiver

Every time I get one foot up, you tear it down, knock it down, tear it down

Believer

Deny me
