Tempting Fate

You're tempting fate
Attempting to be something great
You're tempting fate
In trying to be anything at all
 
And until you come to see that you already are
You’ll paradoxically never get that far
 
And keep tempting fate
Tempting fate
 
You're stunting your dreams
By not believing they're already true
You're torn at the seams, it seems you don't
Even believe in the real you
 
And until you realize who you truly are
You’ll lose sight of the light, and forget that you’re a star
  
So, keep tempting fate
Though, it's not too late
 
To change your ways and get through this dark daze
To clean your slate and see through these dark days
 
You've done this before
And now you're doing it all again
But what's it all for?
Goin’ ‘round and ‘round and ‘round the bend
   
And fallin' short of your soul
Tell me, how is that possible?
Oh, hear it callin' you hOOOOHHM
One light inside does guide us all
 
But until we come to find all we already know
We'll keep running blind, and we'll never learn and grow (oh, no!)
 
And keep tempting fate
Tempting fate
 
But this is the last time
We'll lose sight of the light again
And although I said that last time
It seems to me, that time and space, they b-
 
This is the last time
We'll lose sight of the light again
And although I said that last time
It seems to me, there is no real e-
 
This is the last time
I'll be saying this again
And I know I said that last time
But, it seems to me, we're right where we began
It seems to me, there is no real end
Oh, can't you see, that time and space, they bend?
 
Lest we all fade (fade fade fade fade [fade out])
