Focus
Don’t look down
Only straight ahead
Keep going
Just keep going
Don't stop

Nobody understands

Dark, deadly clouds obscure their vision
Minds as narrow as a chimney
Forgetting how vast the world is
Nobody understands

A fire burning inside
Keeps you going
Through treacherous mountains
Nobody understands

The fear of falling
Into that steep valley
Never being able to get out
Nobody understands

When your body is addicted
To a drug more powerful
Than you can imagine
Nobody understands

When you are stretched
Like a rubber band
Waiting to snap at any moment
Nobody understands

You’re a race car
Going faster and faster after every turn
Doing your best not to crash
Nobody understands

You try to stop caring so much
Make yourself let it go
But you can’t and this is something
Nobody understands

You dream of being the best
Not the first
There's a difference that
Nobody understands

Nobody understands the feeling
of not being understood
better than I do
