They said I was strong
That I was one of the best
Yet I've been fighting for so long
Even I need rest
And every day has been a battle
With their admiring envious eyes
Their smiles like a snake's rattle
Promises filled with filthy lies
They said they'd help me
That they'll always be around
Yet they acted like they couldn't see
As my face hit the ground
Instead they tapped me on the back
And wanted to move on
Saying their world was about to turn black
And everything was so wrong
I had to act like a hero
Just take blow after blow
Every time I had to sacrifice
As they said they'd pay my price
They said they'd always give me a hand
But when I asked for water
They gave me a diamond cup of sand.
