These grinding expectations
Placed here I mustn't fail
These grinding expectations
Placed here I mustn't fail

Don't you see the fear in my eyes?
It's never been so real
Can't you taste the tears that I cried?
Hollow is what I feel

The beast in me feels cornered
Preparing to attack
While the coward inside of me
Tells me to adjust

Follow the rules! Fulfil the task they lay on you
Follow the rules! Satisfaction guaranteed

The beast in me feels cornered
Preparing to attack
While the coward inside of me
Tells me to adjust

Follow the rules! Fulfil the task they lay on you
Follow the rules! Satisfaction guaranteed

I want to tear it all apart
I want to tear it all apart

These grinding expectations
I hurt myself to feel
These grinding expectations
Kill myself to live

Follow the rules! Fulfil the task they lay on you
Follow the rules! Satisfaction guaranteed
