They always said that this life would be rough
That I should just learn that some things I'm just meant to give up
But no one ever taught me when enough was enough
"Do I sink or swim or do I rise above?"
Open mouths force what they're fed
All their lies they spew with red
Listen closely as they whisper your name
They speak in tongues, burn your lungs and they number your days
Choose carefully the life you lead
Or prove them wrong, show the world what it means to
Leave this all behind
It comes down to this very moment
Will you take the higher path
Or fall beneath and slip through the cracks?
Angels and devils on my shoulders
Tearing me in two again
Will I ever reach the end of this road?
When I was young
I had a dream
Of running as far as my eyes could see
To bear the torch, to plant the seed
To let the fire burn for the whole world to see
Where did I go wrong?
Where do I draw the line?
They always said that this life would be rough
That dreams are just dreams
"You just need to wake up"
But now I'm stuck standing in my own ways
We are the sleepless dreamers
We are the wayward souls
We're all searching for something
The thing that makes us whole
And when all is said and done
Will it end as it's begun?
I'm still searching for the meaning
I know I'm not the only one
