We're Up Against It

from We Just Pretend This is a War by rooFTops

lyrics

We're up against it . . .
too much glory too much history
And we resent it too much to live up to too much to be in this life

in this life

We're up against it . . .
too much glory too much history
Already spent it
every note, every word, every sight, every sound we could make
in this life

We tried our best, buried in this mess
in the shadow of those who enjoy success
forced to confess that it's no contest
we nest with failures we really never learned to digest
no living up to the blessed we detest
when they suppress every desire to be impressed
we were told to shut up so we hold our breath
and we tread water in the wake of all the competition we're pit against

We're up against it
the fraying yarns of all the victories
Will we resent it
we've already lost if we choose to compete with this lie
