Lyrics The One - TANTRIC

The One

I’m a victim of circumstance
Always willing to take a chance
A unique individual
And my pain is residual
Living with this duality
I say fuck this calamity
I’m aware of my sanity
But inside I don’t want to be
I’ve got his world on my shoulders
Weighing down like a boulder
All these things that I’m questioning
Is the sum above everything
I’m not bitchin' about this now
Try releasing but don’t know how
I accept the way that I live
Even though I know I can give now
If I’m not the one
Still I won’t step aside
What have I become
Victim of foolish pride
If I’m not the one
Then tell me why I act this way
Your begotten son
Is pain everything you feel?
With all the glamour and glory
Well I’m not leaving don’t worry
There’s so much more to this story
'Cuz I’m an infinite quarry
This is my only version
Of what I see and I’m merging
Everything I’m witnessing
Is anyone listening
If it’s too late to be looking back
There’s two ways that we can react
Never mind the self-pitying
Don’t you follow that reasoning
Under struggle where we shine
I won’t let this be left behind
There’s a purpose for everything
Without thinking were strengthening now
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
If I am not the one
Still I won’t step aside
What have I become
Victim of foolish pride
