lyrics

We try so hard to fill, our meaningless existence.
With anything that makes us feel alive.
So there’s no wonder we feel like failures
Because the truth of the world is cold
Juxtaposed existence is so, unfair and inconsistent.
.
Therein lie the inherent lies, that we all must face.
We'll never catch up because, this is not a race.
Some already start at the finish and those behind, are forgotten left to diminish.
Left to, struggle, while the others thrive.
Helpless passengers, watching leaders drive.

Wait and wonder. Where this road is gonna lead us
Wait and wonder. Chew the bullshit that they feed us.
(Or) Tear apart everything, they've built to keep us in line, and on time.
So we can start again. For the last time. On our own terms!


We just need a chance, to free our minds. To find, a way that we can feel alive
We want to find a way to fly. But not all of us can touch the sky


Brighter horizons are not far off, just don’t give up before the resolution
Standing together we stand a chance to bring about the revolution.
Brighter horizons are not far off, just don't give up find your resolution
Force yourself to keep a smile. and carve a place out for yourself In this world.

We have to do it ourselves. There is no equity, in our society. There's no equality!


So there's no wonder we feel like failures, because the truth of the world is cold.
Juxtaposed existence is so, unfair and inconsistent.
.
(So) Tear apart everything, they've built to keep us in line, and on time.
So we can start again. For the last time. On our own terms!


Tear down, all the monuments, they've built for themselves.
Break em down. Bring it down. Break ‘em down.
Maybe we can start rebuilding our morality from the ground up!
(On our own terms!)
