Self Made Man

I'm a self—made man

And I watched it being

Destroyed

Those things I called accomplishments

Crushed like toys

From an early age

I seemed to be

Everything everyone

Expected me to be

I went to school

I paid my dues

I grew to meet

All your hopes and dreams

I rode the road

To sweet success

I climbed (the highest peaks

I had it all

Before I watched it fall

I'm a self—made man

And I watched it being

Destroyed

Those things I called accomplishments

Crushed like toys

Fast forward to today, when

I took my cue from you

And I just walked away

I played by the rules

I paid my dues, now

Gone are all

My hopes and dreams

That got lost along the way

I can't believe

I had it all

Before I watched it fall

I'm a self—made man

And I watched it being

Destroyed

Those things I called accomplishments

Crushed like toys

I'm a self—made man

And I watched it being

Destroyed

Those things I called accomplishments

Crushed like toys
