Greatness

Greatness is a concept of a state of superiority affecting a person or object in a particular place or area. Greatness can also be attributed to individuals who possess a natural ability to be better than all others. An example of an expression of the concept in a qualified sense would be "Abraham Lincoln is the definition of greatness" or "Franklin D. Roosevelt was one of the greatest wartime leaders". In the unqualified sense it might be stated "George Washington achieved greatness within his own lifetime", thus implying that "greatness" is a definite and identifiable quality. Application of the terms "great" and "greatness" is dependent on the perspective and subjective judgements of those who apply them. Whereas in some cases the perceived greatness of a … more »

I just realized you can't change the channel on the mirror
So I'm channeling my inner Jane Eyre
Can you hear her?
Self-critical is easy when you're self-absorbed
But I could ill afford to ignore my issues just to focus on yours
'Cause yours might intrigue me and even entertain me
But mine sustain me just as much as they defame me
Breathing life like fire, word to Chris Cornell
It's insane
Sometimes I feel like I'll never regain the sane me
Morals fallin' apart, I'm still claimin' it's art
They said that I would change, and I denied it from the start
And "It is what it is" is how I justify it now
Back then I used to hate the baggage, ironically I supply it now
Held up by all the hang-ups that tie me down
Fell in love with the feeling of fallin' down
Back against the ropes, they're hopin' I'm rope-a-dopin'
But I'm just hopin' my hope becomes a little less hopeless
In your heart I'm flawed and it's more than I can take
Dreams seem so far, so I stay wide awake
Scared to let my eyes close
Please don't fall asleep
If you swear you won't let go, I'll be yours to keep
When I was 16, I wiped tears from Arianna's eyes
And I was nobody, but she made me feel idolized
And I wanted to be a father, so I could out-father mine
'Cause mine liked to wander, and he hated to apologize
And he and mom would split up after every hiccup
And I'm at school wonderin' if I'ma get picked up
You just left like you were so ready to move on
But you could've at least had the decency to stay gone
All those years you made me think I wasn't good enough
But goddammit, motherfucker, I never stood you up
Never walked out on you, and you were never lied to
And to think all those years, I wanted to be like you
But I'm nothin' like you, I swear I'm nothin' like you
And I wish I wasn't proud of that
But damn it, I despise you, 'cause I love you
Feel free to love me back, you son of a bitch
I can't believe I ever wanted this
In your heart I'm flawed and it's more than I can take
Dreams seem so far, so I stay wide awake
Scared to let my eyes close
Please don't fall asleep
If you swear you won't let go, I'll be yours to keep
Before I knew it, the days had turned into years
Now I can't tell the difference between the rain and the tears
And it's hard not to be self-conscious
When the safest place for you for years has been your therapist's office
She asked what I want to do with my life, I said off it
She asked if that was a recurrin' thought, I said often
Do you know what it's like to be alive in a coffin?
Waitin' to see the light and being blinded by the darkness?
Sometimes I think I hate myself more than the haters do
Oh, you hate Greatness? Well, yeah, I hate him too
Harvey Dent's the only thing I can equate it to
Can't capture the moment when reality's escaping you
Sometimes I want to take a lie and make it true
If it'll make the day easier to make it through
But there's so much on the line, I'm aware of the stakes
You should never sleep on me, stay wide awake
In your heart I'm flawed and it's more than I can take
Dreams seem so far, so I stay wide awake
Scared to let my eyes close
Please don't fall asleep
If you swear you won't let go, I'll be yours to keep
