I've been searching
Seeking all these pieces that have long been forgotten
Can we stand on our own?
Yeah-yeah
We've been soul searching for who we are
(For far too long)
Solemnly, silently wandering
Waiting for the calm
We've been veering down a broken course of selfish skewed perceptions
Realign our parts and sight casting aside misguided, ill intentions
No longer being led astray by the acts of their transgressions
A reaction to an endless cycle built on exclusions
Wane, let go
We've always felt it
Reach out, grasp hold
We are an illusion to ourselves
♪
All our lives we have spectated yet never uttered a single word
Silently whispering incoherently
Continuing to squander away every little piece
We've tried to overcome and to achieve
Malleable self-deluded personalities
You're not changing for yourself
Buckling under the weight of mediocrity
Or for any of them
Enveloping their hearts in compassion of empathy
Casting aside vanity and apathy
Illuminate these splintering fractured foundatitons
Encasing our tainted shattered glass souls
Break free from these rusted conducts that contain us
How long can we continue being
A hollowed ghost of our real selves?
These chains can no longer quell
This malignant animosity we harbor inside
Excrement, we can no longer tolerate
Being force-fed all of this fucking bullshit
We're seeing phantoms in our hallways
We're so concerned with what we aren't
Trading our souls for their cause
And buried our bodies in the walls
A brittle foundation of self
The cracks in the face of our bones
Wane, let go
We've always felt it
Reach out, grasp hold
We were meant for so much more
Are we alive?
Are out hearts still heating?
Barely clinging on
We're barely breathing
