Well I'm standing on my last leg Dejected world heed what I say Caught up in lies and material gain In given time the pleasure turns to pain Won't crawl on all fours for you I admit I've made some mistakes Won't believe your truth is a lie Determination: a creed to live by Against the grain I try Again I believe the lies I won't cave to condescending ways The sands of time is more than I can take The war I wage within myself I must find a way To take control Vow to never fall again But I'm holding, holding on to pain Although I know its all mundane The creeper I must sow, protecting Won't crawl on all fours for you I admit I've made some mistakes Won't believe your truth is a lie Determination: a creed to live by Against the grain I try Again I believe the lies Can't stand it for another day I know its an illusion Against the grain
