lyrics

How long, must we, fall for the same excuse?
Hide from reality, avoid the truth?
Find love, find truth
Seek change from all around you

Leave behind the struggles, the failures,
the weights that chained you to hate and ignorance.
The sun won't wait for us to set.
Find the truth
Open your mind
And free yourself from the grave you've made

Free your mind
From the grave
Save yourself from the hell you've made
Shed the toxic and break free

Far too many sink
And never find their way
We struggle for air

Drifting away, I can't see
Where my feet touch the
Ground anymore

Please remind me
I don't want to be lost
Separate body from mind
Find the light inside yourself
Pull yourself away from the world
From the poison and the hate of every day

Breathe easy
The weight will lift away
The dream is over
If the warmth of the sun
Becomes a nightmare

Surrender your insecurities
Teach yourself love
Teach yourself peace

I will anchor my own feet
To the bottom of the sea
Where the salt becomes my friend
And the air my enemy
Keep me from breathing
Keep me from seeing
Just leave me be
In the safety of the depths

Doubt will never describe us again
In this world that was left for us
Doubt will never describe us again
In this world that was left to us
No longer will we wait

I will become, a black hole
If I can’t break myself away from this hateful world
