Sweet Sweet Reality - Daniel Forsyth

You don't look so good tonight But I'll entertain it for a little while I ain't trying to trap me a slave But you're disregarding what I say I'm an empty home to fill You put in it what you will But I'm warning you, please tread light 'Cause you don't look so good tonight And I'm a broken record and You're a broke machine But please don't lie to me Maybe a new hand didn't know what came One I've always felt's at play 'Cause I'm running before I could sit And learn to like myself a bit You done the distance You done the miles Along the way learned how to lie You sat down for every game Seem still unsure of how to play I'm a broken record and You're a broke machine But please don't lie to me I know this bag of bones needs stitching And I'm a high-talking mess But you're grabbing your last chance and Hell, you nearly missed 'Cause I'm a broken record and You're a broke machine But please don't lie And I'm a broken record (and I'm a broken record) and You're a broke machine But please don't lie I'm a broken record and I Love my broken machines But please don't lie to me

Sun down to sun up... we up. I've got that staying power, that second wind That digging deep, that never giving in That leaning on yourself, when there's no one around That rising from the ashes when they count you out Life can't keep me down Even gravity struggles to keep me around I'll never wave the flag, I'll never throw the towel I've survived so many tests and trials My fire still burns when I'm burnt out I might've failed a thousand times but I'm not giving up I might've missed a thousand times but I'm still aiming up I work late I stay in the fight I do extra rounds I do overtime I go for what's mine I kept my goals on my brain, stayed in the game While the doubters all faded away There was no way so I made it There was no path so I paved it I built the road to greatness. This is my staying power I've got persistence A quitter never wins I stay consistent This is my staying power I'll outlast anyone I'll outwork everyone I'm always number one This my staying power I go for what's mine I can do anything It's all in the mind This is my staying power Worth fighting for They may win a battle They'll never win my war This is my staying power Persistence Commitment I live it Discipline Not giving in No quitting No matter how long it takes I'll go the distance Failing ain't failure There's a difference Sometimes I have to slow down Sometimes I take a break But I ain't broken I just need time to recalibrate I'm just waiting on that second win to kick in Get my mind straight, and then we go again Greatness takes time Rome wasn't built in a day So I keep grinding away day, day after day after day Sometimes it feels like hell but I stayed in the game It feels strange to be the last one that remains Most people quit Success ain't always instant or immediate But I felt from within I knew I could win, deep down I never worry The pain the misery and struggle made a better story This is my staying power I've got persistence A quitter never wins I stay consistent This is my staying power I'll outlast anyone I'll outwork everyone I'm always number one This is my staying power I go for what's mine I can do anything It's all in the mind This is my staying power Worth fighting for They may win a battle They'll never win my war This is my staying power
