lyrics

This is no future for me
I am tired of living this fate
No surface to where I can escape
Or so it feels
when I am trapped inside this place

I am done...

Living a lie to make ends meet
I despise
The weight of corporatocracy
Giving my all for a solid nothing
I am more than you give me credit for
And I'm done pretending

Inside, it's like a total meltdown
Behind, the man I am to become

I am the sole progenitor of my own future
And I am the one who's
Stretched between two paths
Making this life worth the one to last
My conviction and my vision
Won't be forced down a narrow line
Hoping to break the cycle of nonsensical deceiving non-belief
I have awakened myself
To the truth

Triumph isn't easy, but I believe
Nothing this real can come easily

Pacing too heavy every day
Moving towards something that actualizes my fate
Something that defines me

I can see the silhouette manifesting in front of me

I will leave behind a future that damned my crossing
There's no way I am turning back
Into this spiral of nothingness
I will make it happen even if it kills me

Break down the doubt
It is something I have to live without
What is a life worth when it's sold
Not all the gold in this world can buy all the time I've wasted
You aren't true to yourself until you are self-made

Inside, it's like a total meltdown
Behind, the man I am to become

The path was bleak before I opened my eyes
Now I can see
This is another mountain I have to climb
I will claw my way to the top
No matter what it takes!
I will find a way
Out of the darkness and breath

I can't give anymore to this
This is the way
I have come to learn myself

Passion trumps slavery in my eyes
All that's left is just to try
Left all delusions that I have to fail this life
I am complete doing what I love
What I held onto since I was young
What I am, until I am nothing
To become the man
I know I am
