Better Than You

Given the lion's chain
Holding the key
Keeping me back where I'm dying 
     to be better than you

I care not for the looks and the lies
Still somehow I feel more alive
So look towards the sky, still look at the sky
Now look down and see there's no one but me

Better than you

So long I've pushed and I've tried
Still somehow I feel less alive
Realizing the truth now, hearing the speech
I know now I always will be better than you
