Smashing, always forward 
Leave nothing in your path 
Shortsighted and indifferent 
To what lies ahead 

Reckless abandon (chasing your tail) 
Blinding ambition (you learn to fail) 

Winning a race 
No one else began 
No rest for the wicked 
Winter calls again 

Crawling gagging (chasing your tail) 
Battered and bleeding (you learn to fail) 

Rip it up and tear it down 
It weighs heavy on my soul. 
Rip it up and tear it down 
It weighs heavy on my soul. 

Confront the stranger 
Staring back at you 
Twisted reflection 
In the looking glass 

Reckless abandon (chasing your tail) 
Blinding ambition (you learn to fail) 

Winning a race 
No one else began 
No rest for the wicked 
Winter calls again 

Crawling gagging (chasing your tail) 
Battered and bleeding (you learn to fail) 

Rip it up and tear it down 
It weighs heavy on my soul. 
Rip it up and tear it down 
It weighs heavy on my soul. 

TEAR IT OUT!!! 
How could you let it fall? 
The strain of the climb leaves you empty!
