lyrics

They were always telling me to strive
but I still don't know what it means to feel alive.
Hypnotized, was it all just a lie?
The same words always condemning me to
BE ALL YOU CAN BE.

Every time I looked up, all I saw were blue skies.
Why did it take this long to realize
I was living someone else's life?
The same words always condemning me to
BE ALL YOU CAN BE.

Weaving the warmth of hell around my neck,
I clung to every word as I would the last of my dying breath.
Embracing only what I knew, I never had to know regret.
Never having to look behind the glass,
existence was a paradox abiding in the abstract.
Only when the hole burrowed deeper,
I discovered the remains of my ego.

Everything is changing.
I can still see the ripples from the waves.
All of the dreams I was chasing
are burnt to ashes in the flames.
I said what you wanted me to say.
The numbness is finally slipping away...
Slipping away...

That wasn't who I am.
A sheep in wolf's clothing,
I had no idea who to be.
What you are, I once was.
What I am, you will soon be.
Pretend to be good always,
and even God will be fooled.

From now on I'm living for myself.
This is who I want to be...
Who I want to be.
