Repeating cycles of paralysis nightmares Has left me wondering why should I sleep? Trying to remember a time, when beauty this aligned, occurred right Before my eyes I've always been the one to come up short, to be unstable But I'm perfectly able I just want to go back to a time Where I can breathe again My ambitions always get shut down But nothing can take this away I must stay strong You have always tried to hold me down But nothing can take this away I must stay strong I must stay strong I'll always chase this until the end of time I'll always chase you Where we can both collide I'll always chase this until the end of time I'll always chase you If only we could grasp it We could be so high But the weight of the world's always bringing me down We're standing on hollowed ground No substance in life but the will to survive But how can we live this way I will meet my maker, I will escape I can face this There's a whisper that speaks in volumes It draws the fear right out of my mind Can you hear the voices at night? Can you hear the voices at night? I'm not as strong as I think I am I'm not as strong as I think I am I'm not as strong as I think I am But I know I can conquer this It's haunting how the color fades and the flavor loses its taste But I can't keep away I'm waiting for the day when all of my dreams don't seem so far away My ambitions always get shut down But nothing can take this away I must stay strong You have always tried to hold me down But nothing can take this away I must stay strong I must stay strong
