M.E. Video (MV)

Staring at myself, always looking at the mirror
My thoughts are running wild but they've never been clearer
I've been more insecure despite securities I grabbed
Is the future that I want, the future I will never grasp
I deserve this, I did it all myself
I didn't need you, or anybody's help
I made my mind up, I made a couple mistakes
But the falls I always took are from leaps I never take
Every slump you see me in, you bet I never get up
You think you're being critical, my mind is never let up
So I will ruin you, I'll go to war with your beliefs
You won't ever win, never against me
You can be you, but you'll never be me
I've been very adamant about being the best
I never thought for a moment maybe I needed a rest
I never thought for a second if I took it I'd see
This ain't about you, this about me
I'm so far inside my head and I'm living rent free
I hated the fact that my dreams were just dreams
And then I got to where I wanted, and it only seemed
Got a long ways to go farther than I can see
Up another hill, taller than the last
Then another hill so big I couldn't even see past
And I was blind with rage, filled with greed
The things I always wanted I thought I would need
The life I always needed was way up in the sky
Or wanted, still a little stuck in my mind
But today seems really special as I pull myself up
It wasn't just work, but it wasn't just luck
This was Matthew's doing and that really stuck see
This wasn't anything you did, it was only me
You can be you, but you'll never be me
I've been very adamant about being the best
I never thought for a moment maybe I needed a rest
I never thought for a second if I took it I'd see
This ain't about you, this about me
Life wasn't always good but it brought me here today
It's giving me this feeling I hope never goes away
It took my all so far and keeps asking for more
But I don't mind, no, I don't mind anymore
I will keep pushing, and keep soldiering on
I'm so used to these trenches and my shoulders are raw
From the weight of the world, this world that is mine
I wouldn't want it any other way, cause right now at this time
I'm at a peak, as I soak in the sun
I look back at all the hardships every battle I won
I take my armor off for the first time in my life
Laying my sword down, that's now a dull knife
I feel the rays hit my brow, I breathe out a sigh
I'm ready for my next biggest climb
You can be you, but you'll never be me
You can be you, but you'll never be me
