Out in the cold
here's what we know:
no one's above the constant sorrow
you plot your escape
the first time you cry
failure will chase you
through your lifetime

So what we are
is not what we were
still we will suffer
for the long shot challenger
on your way out
take my advice
you should be grateful for your life

Hope you're conscious now
well aware just how lucky you are

Structure is set
no one to trust
they don't provide
a guide that leads us
the moment you're born
to right when you die
yours is the burden to decide why

You opened your eyes
cut from the cord
throw your napoleonic empire overboard
on your way out
take my advice
you should be thankful
for your life
