lyrics

I've become unsure time and time again
Cause I walked the path of an empty man
And I have seen things that test my strength, every day
The hardest part, is the fear of becoming something that i hate
I just hope i can find my call and walk it straight.

I'm trying so hard to focus on the positives
But this world just tries so hard
To stomp us down.
Tearing apart the walls we have built up
To find nothing but gray skies and hollow clouds
And I know this isn't the end, the war's not over yet
I will not stop till my muscles burn and i rid my mind
I rid my mind of its regret

I have always been used up and thrown away.
I'm done playing this game.
Forfeit.
And just walk away.
Forfeit.
And quit playing these games.

We are all trying to cover our misfortune
We all need to stop being ashamed
We're all misled. We're all misled.
We are misled.

We are misled by a society that cares more about the brand of their shoes, the make of their car, or the price of their possessions, than the heart of its children
We are misled by a nation that recognizes the complications, but does nothing to alleviate them.
And we are told to hide away, to cover up our problems with material things.

And to stand blind to the mysteries of the world.
I wont stand blind to the mysteries of the world.
