I know these vices are my own and I'll drown in them someday but for now I'm treading waters in my youth

And my pockets may be empty but at least I know that I'm worth my weight in the people I love

I carry with me the weight of all my friend's mistakes

They're all I have and it's all that I could ever take from them

And amongst the pressure this steady back won't break

And as long as you have mine I have yours

The roads we've been down the days we've spent

Will never be replaced with sorrow or repent

Because I've told you once that strife builds men

No matter the cost I'd go through it all again

Trust in your tribe within these trying times

Those who are worth it will give reality its shine

It's a safe bet

The ones you love take precedence over things you will forget

Our fortune is the foundation we built with friends

Believe me it's not easy but we pave the streets we walk with hearts of gold

Sticking close to the ones who helped our stories unfold

And we won't always have full wallets or an empty conscience

But what is very real is our ship sailing into the cold

Life's about the give and take not the number of egos that you can break

Higher the horse means harder the fall

These people who pick me up time and again expect me to stand tall

Trust in your tribe within these trying times

Those who are worth it will give reality its shine

It's a safe bet

The ones you love take precedence over things you will forget

Our fortune is the foundation we built with friends

They say that the good times are killing me and recently I haven't found the strength to disagree

But for now I'll walk with my head held high

If this is the price for living then I'm ready to die

I've got knives in my eyes because I'm tired of sleep

I made a promise to myself I'd die on my feet

There are dreams that I have they don't permit defeat

I put my trust in this world through the people I meet

Don't tell us that we're unreasonable

We could find common ground with the devil

We would never be so low sinking down to society's level

Trust in your tribe within these trying times

Those who are worth it will give reality its shine

It's a safe bet

The ones you love take precedence over things you will forget

Our fortune is the foundation we built with friends

We know these vices are our own and we'll drown in them someday

But for now we're treading waters in our youth

And as the current pulls us under and we're gasping for air

At least we'll be together as the water fills our lungs
