Counting countless parts of me I'm lying so courageously
Honestly, I think I owe myself an apology
How can we all be blindly following, solemnly, we all gave up our autonomy
Caught up in traditions, that clash against our freedoms
We fight a case against ourselves with our own made up reasons
When the shoulders get cold, we stand outside freezing
There's no growing together for there's always fear of treason
Pick a side, choose a uniform there is no in between
There's no other way for you to make it in this scene
Say goodbye to yourself and goodbye to your dreams
Welcome to the world where there is no make believe
When the lights all flicker out and you've got nothing left to see
Promise that when it all goes down you'll still remember me

It's so dark and cold inside this shell you call a soul
If you even wanted could you crawl out of this hole?
No one else is here, it's only me and you
I am the voice inside your head that slowly eats at you
It's so hard to live inside a world of doubt
when every word out of your mouth escapes to bring your own self down
Now, how could you let yourself drown, think about the scar you leave upon your hometown
They say it's better in the morning but you wake up even worse
Simply call it curse and idly think about a hearse
When your eyelids flicker back and you remember all these words
Does a promise mean anything if you're the only one that heard?

The sun is so far gone and so I can't be here for long
I don't even know if everything I say is wrong
I've thought about this for my whole lifelong
How can I convey that I just wanted to belong?
I stand outside against the rain
Feeling every drop against the skin
I think of every word I say
And whether I'd say them again
