Six Feet Deep - Meaningless lyrics

it seems the harder I try, the farther I fall when I fail. and the farther I fall, the harder it is to... get back on my feet again. punish myself trying to please you trying to establish worth in your eyes when nothing you do is of value but yet it costs you your lives. you put on your mask of contentment to cover the shame on your face you push me toward shining achievement but my God has called me to clay. your success is meaningless you're so proud yet it's a symbol of your shame. your excess is meaningless and you expect me to follow you into the flames. your way, I'm constantly reaching for something you want me to be so you can take pride in your system and cash in on this American dream. you said be all that I can be find the truth inside of me but all I found was a withered seed humanity. your success is meaningless you're so proud yet it's a symbol of your shame. your excess is meaningless and you expect me to follow you into the flames. most of what you live for, means nothing to me there's nothing you would die for, and that saddens me the blood on your hands makes me sick and the reasons you give are meaningless. what I am to gain, to go your way is worthless only to attain all your pain and lack of purpose you put on your mask of contentment to cover the shame on your face and you push me toward shining achievement but my God has called me today.
