Years They've past me by like thorns Digging deep and feeding sores Sorrow behind closed doors But that's not me anymore In a fight for who I am Can't convey what I understand But now I stand tall Can't compete with those who won't fall It's been hard All my life Watching stars Fade to dark My god Slaving nights At a desk Watching peers Coalesce My heart Goes out To the ones Having fun While I fight This war with myself Aspirations of a future Suffocation of approval What a bore! Success and achievement are my goals and my weakness I'm tired But that won't shake me from my ambitions! Please know No subscription to your feelings or opinions Drive your own path But don't impede upon my vision It's falling through your eyes This pain you can't disguise Even though you try so hopelessly Your truths will fade to lies It's hunger I despise I will never try hopelessly My anguish is your pride But I will not comply Every time you try it's hopelessly Ambitions always tried You'll see it in my eyes And you'll find you've tried so hopelessly Pain has taken its fair course Days filled with lost remorse In pa**ing shall it stay For form of who I am today Facades ablaze Here for all to see Unveiled, every part of me The sea of my repressions shies From all your lies Entanglement of meaning I comprise I shy from no one's eyes [Chorus] x 2
