Have you ever seen your own face in your head when you close your eyes And in that moment, are you closer to death than you are to life I used to close my eyes and I'd see the future, but now its just a dream that I've awakened from Now when I close my eyes, all I see is my past but not quite what i thought I was escaping from No Did I choose the right path? Did I take the wrong road and run I know I cant take anything back, and I know I have a long way to come Now... and I can barely keep my head above water, and I can barely keep in touch with my family Cuz we're all just sheep bred for the slaughter What's inside doesn't matter anymore, we're just all skin and meat No individual matters to this system Though we're all different, conditions we live in, they mimic prisons We conform to the same times and we all walk the same lines! And we're all in for life We're all in for life, few dream of escape They say there's so much at stake and that your life is a waste if you step out of place And that your mistakes truly make you who you are And that you're a disgrace if you mother your scars, or let them influence you to build towards a newer you Cuz they just want to ruin you, reinforce the bars and kill the muse in you! They're just using you to get what they want Cuz we're pawns on this fucked up chessboard that we're on They're just using you to get what they want Cuz we're pawns on this fucked up chessboard that we're on And if you make a wrong move - And you know it And there's no turning back and they react and they show it By turning their backs on the seeds still growing But there's no pact they could take to make the rain stop flowing So we'll rise up from the ground with our newfound powers Cuz they could never drown the most resilient flowers Or look down on those who embrace rain showers Cuz when they flow we will grow and shadow you like towers And now I know this. I'm really fucking glad that I wrote this Sometimes it's hard to focus.. on the light, and you provoked this Sometimes its hard to focus.. on the light.. Yeah And now I know this! And I'm really fucking glad that I wrote this Cuz sometimes it's hard to focus, on the light
