I felt alone in the streets An outcome so very bleak I just fixated ahead To the dark days to be dread It then occurred to me That someone in my vicinity Was suffering just like me As they awake From this same dream Did it ever cross your mind That it was going to end It's just a twisted dream Of a few deluded men It falls upon thee A repeat in history Did you really think we'd sleep While you take everything It all begins to spread A ripple in effect. You better start to prepare To pay us a new respect The beast is awake The serpent rises in us all It's now our turn to take It's now our time to enthrall Did it ever cross your mind That it was going to end That the veil you cast Has begun to wear thin. It calls upon thee A repeat in history Did you think we'd just stand by And take your tyranny The beast is awake The serpent rises A turn to take It all begins to spread A ripple in effect You better start to prepare To pay us some respect Did it ever cross your mind That is was going to end That this twisted fate Was just a passing trend If it falls upon me This repeat in history Did you really think I'd stand by While you're oppressing me

Elevating to a higher place up above I want to be Expanding my mind to a different state to perceive Everlasting A stream of consciousness is opening For once I can see What's inside of me Forgive myself for all the mistakes I made Escape from what I had to say Even all that I was afraid Contend everything that was haunting me Even things I kept secretly Concentrate on infinity It can be ecstasy Spreading with all honesty To another grace The sun will rise deep inside The wind will blow away the pride Without a trace A flower is blossoming My inner self is promising It radiates Is it really a surprise The disillusion in your eyes It dissipates Elevating to a higher place up above I want to be Expanding my mind to a different state to perceive Everlasting Colors are of a different shade at this altitude I'm feeling free Darkness that once clouded me is all gone A ray of hopefulness is awakening Such need that I had never felt is all I see Broken free from such a morbid cage Ascend to a more glorious day A view more clearer of the stage Exhale a breath of life only I can see Breathe in light of pure harmony Contemplate past conformity Then I felt an undertow It wasn't just an easy flow It pulled me down It was such a hostile force Trying to stray me from my course I was to drown I fought back against the crunch It hit me with a sucker punch To devastate I had nothing left to lose Moving with that I would choose To elevate Elevating to a higher place up above I want to be Expanding my mind to a different state to perceive Everlasting Colors are of a different shade at this altitude I'm feeling free Darkness that once clouded me is all gone

You never let it be You never let me breathe It's not the first time that I've seen You push my buttons whenever you need Life's so full of such sweet surprise I may react different right before your eyes I told you so As something grows inside The pressure show A rupture that fails to die You really don't believe in me It's just some kind of sociopath lunacy These things are just a false security You light the fuse every time you bully me You don't see Everything that I see You don't know What it's like The hate that grows A light it glows So dim but there and wanted The dark it shrouds Not proud I drown and suffocate In spite it shows Not grim I'm spared It's thwarted A spark it screams upstream So now I decimate What does it mean Who could have seen It happened The pressure is there The buttons are being pushed I wanted to be Someone not me Excluded The confession aware The buttons are being crushed You really don't believe in me It's just some kind of sociopath lunacy These things are just a false security You light the fuse every time you bully me You don't see Everything that I see You don't know What it's like The hate that grows You really don't believe in me Or else you would just let it be You push and push and push and push It erodes corrodes until it does explode These things are just a false security I may behave different than you thought of me It builds, and builds, and builds, and builds The pressure builds so much it kills Don't you see The halo that's surrounding me Don't you know What it's like Where I should go I'll be free, Face the facts it's meant to be It's upset a lonely need I want to be free I will be free Watch and see You really don't believe in me Or else you would just let it be You push and push and push and push It erodes corrodes until it does explode These things are just a false security I may behave different than you thought of me It builds and builds and builds and builds The pressure builds so much it kills

They want a little liberty For some obscure security It wasn't much for them to ask Just apart of their mask They want your fears to be strong Don't question if they're right or wrong They'll create another tragedy Just to gain more control over you and me Now surrounding us with such listlessness Dividing another great sea Because together they could not conquer us Fires rising up from beneath Storms stir a fatal lust Try to conceive, inevitably What is the cost Tainted souls begin to sharpen teeth Precision strikes from those you trust Do you believe It's meant to be Tranquility lost It's War We self-destruct deep inside Another holocaust to turn the tide The prosperity can never last Don't forget the past They restrict in the name of good And convince you that they should Secret meetings behind closed doors Plotting plans for when you get yours Stop surrendering Giving your freedom up Two sides both the same Distractions that become Caught in another fool's game Swallowed up in hard lies They ignite the eternal flame Truth never dies Fires rising up from beneath Storms stir a fatal lust Try to conceive Inevitably What is the cost Tainted souls begin to sharpen teeth Precision strikes from those you trust Do you believe It's meant to be Tranquility lost The powers that be That we don't see Controlling The world around Corruptions surround On faltering ground It's War Stop surrendering Giving your freedom up Two sides both the same Distractions that become Caught in another fool's game Swallowed up in hard lies They ignite the eternal flame Truth never dies Truth will never die Truth will always rise Truth will never die Truth will rise
