The One - TANTRIC

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
