*** LYRICS ***

Pushing up, pushing up
Through the dirt just like a seed
But you’re never quite a flower
You feel more just like a weed

Driving through, driving through
You want to know where you are going
But the windshield’s always dirty
And you never get to see

What makes you think that you’ll ever get there?
What makes you think you deserve to know?
Who are you really, are you so important?
Take a look around and watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold

Need advice, need advice
You have no clue what you’re doing
Moral compass it is spinning
And identity unhinged

Where to turn, where to turn?
There are so many opinions
And they’re all a little different
And the outlook’s getting dim

What makes you think that you’ll ever get there?
What makes you think you deserve to know?
Who are you really, are you so important?
Take a look around and watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold

Pushing up, pushing up
Through the dirt just like a seed
But you’re never quite a flower
You feel more just like a weed
