They always said that this life would be rough That I should just learn that some things I'm just meant to give up But no one ever taught me when enough was enough "Do I sink or swim or do I rise above?" Open mouths force what they're fed All their lies they spew with red Listen closely as they whisper your name They speak in tongues, burn your lungs and they number your days Choose carefully the life you lead Or prove them wrong, show the world what it means to Leave this all behind It comes down to this very moment Will you take the higher path Or fall beneath and slip through the cracks? Angels and devils on my shoulders Tearing me in two again Will I ever reach the end of this road? When I was young I had a dream Of running as far as my eyes could see To bear the torch, to plant the seed To let the fire burn for the whole world to see Where did I go wrong? Where do I draw the line? They always said that this life would be rough That dreams are just dreams "You just need to wake up" But now I'm stuck standing in my own ways We are the sleepless dreamers We are the wayward souls We're all searching for something The thing that makes us whole And when all is said and done Will it end as it's begun? I'm still searching for the meaning I know I'm not the only one
