lyrics

The world keeps turning and I can’t see the direction
Expectations overwhelming, clouding my vision
This is a game that you keep on playing
I'm like a pawn, reacting to your opinion
Everywhere I turn there's someone better than me
I try to keep on running until my feet bleed
In this world you decide: it‘s either do or die
Easiest way to comply is with a heart as cold as ice
The demon in my head is always judging me
Blinding, subsiding, falsified reality
Holding up the hammer, ready to decree
Sentenced to be a person I could never be
Pushing my limits
Feeling dead inside
Searching for a purpose
A way to survive
Too proud to ask for help,
too used to being strong
Putting up a brave front,
but for how long?
