Choosing to be force fed the poison straight to the engine. If we become machines then we have already lost. Disregard humanity (We're just trying to move past), Concave shapes of steel created by the pressure, will we ever be real?
We are apart of a repeating system, drag me down assembly lines. Make me like the others, make sure my light doesn't shine. How did we get this way? Always wanting to be the same.
I will be the change, I will bring the change.
We will be the change, We will bring the change.
These barriers have broken and the light is shining through and it's leading me to you. So keep me by your side, so I know that you are real. These barriers have broken and time alone can heal, So keep me by your side... That in the back of my mind I know you are real.
We are not factory made we are the ones that will bring the change. We are not the forgotten and we will bring the light back home. We only chase the flame
Choosing to be force fed the poison, We will not suffer your loss.

Reaching Out

Even when my backs against the wall I will never lose sight. I hope that I never see the day that my heart becomes my mind, when they combine. I'd let emotion take the wheel and steer me off the path. I've done it for too long and it's always been wrong. I've always seen my life through, through a looking glass. Always there but out of reach as if it lies underneath.
I'm pay the price for my actions but how can I live in a world where I'm constantly being robbed of my satisfaction, what else can I say.
I would be a liar to say that I have it all together like some pieces of a puzzle. I am no saint, I have no power to accuse others of wrongdoing and if anything I want to bring out those who are far away from the truth, I want to be the hand that reaches out to you and pulls you out of this darkness. Out of this darkness.
I would be a liar to say that I have it all together that it's all under my control and I've built a safe place to call my home. I would be a liar to say that my ghosts never escape my grasp, I would be a liar to say that mistakes have never crossed my path, had never crossed my path. I would be a liar to say that this is all perfection, that I'm better than you... That I'm better than the truth
Dig up the bodies, bury your own grave. Take them for ransom if there's nothing left to be saved.
Send me down with the wolves, I am not saint. I am not saint

Overcome

I'm closest with the things I'm most afraid of. Fear trembling but I will not quit. To keep me furthest from the things that I swore I'd never be, to keep me looking forward (looking forward). Slowly divide me with the present.
We are seceding on a time that is not our own, it's inevitable. Decaying the faster than the words coming out of your mouth. Hollow and meaningless.
Borrowing from our own lives as if we owe it to ourselves. Stealing from our own minds as if they have their own stories to tell.
The days are taking longer to fully cycle, the people become crowds and crowds become mobs. Chasing for justice chasing for change. I told myself just to sit back and listen, to sift through life and just take the things that I'm given. To do what i'm told and take it all for granted ( I take it all for granted). To go through the emotions, let cycles repeat.
I'm closest with the things. I'm closest with the things, I'm closest with the things I'm most afraid of. Fear trembling but I will not quit, fear trembling but I will not quit.

Inconsistency

Have I really found what I am looking for? I give my hopes as compensation to find ideas deep within the lines, that only lead to my frustration. Are there still people here, that breathe the aspiration of life beginning to decay and it's making me resentful to see that these sullen eyes will bleed.
I look around, all is broken, all is lost. I need restoration
Will we ever be the same again, Will we ever be the same again, will we ever be the same again. Will we ever be the same?
You said you'd take me to the end, you were the wind behind my back, all you did was hold me down. But all you did was hold me down.
Are there still people here, that breathe the aspiration of life beginning to decay and it's making me resentful to see. I look around and all I see is broken and all is lost, I need restoration.
We set fire to a dream going different directions. We can't own up to our own limitations.
All you did was hold me down.
