Defeated

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to feel it in my heart with a passion It would pump from my veins,.was the fuel for my actions Such that it was my cane and my crutch I was sure it was real, I could taste, I could touch I was it, and it was mine I felt free for the first time I was sure they were behind me so I never turned I just kept going straight which means I never learned And when I finally did take a look around My world came to the ground And this is what I found The truth is hard to swallow, harder to follow When the blessings you receive for your deeds seem hollow [Chorus 1] Chasin' for the sun I was born to run But I feel like I'm defeated I feel like I'm defeated I feel like I'm defeated But I will not be beaten [Verse 2] No matter how I fight, they always outgun me No matter how I sprint, time will outrun me I'm stuck in a rat race 'round about lap eight Every time I go around, I feel like the track changed The goalposts keep movin' How can I reach one when there are no conclusions? The poor, wise man or am I the rich fool At the bottom of the road still scared of the pitfalls? Fat cats and poor kids both bloated Life is a bitter pill with a sugar coatin' Even a queen can be taken by a pawn Darkest hour is the one before dawn [Chorus 2] Chasin' for the sun I was born to run But I feel like I'm defeated I feel like I'm defeated [Chorus 1] Chasin' for the sun I was born to run But I feel like I'm defeated I feel like I'm defeated I feel like I'm defeated But I will not be beaten [Chorus 1] Chasin' for the sun I was born to run But I feel like I'm defeated I feel like I'm defeated I feel like I'm defeated But I will not be beaten
