lyrics

All my life I followed this beaten path.
Concerned with that which keeps me safe.
Centered only to survive, I will now march my own way.
Striving to the things that come up in our mind.

We spend our time trying to become what we are told to be,
while life passes by in front of our own eyes, I can not see.
The safety of youth is fading away, I’m losing faith.
Wondering how it must have slipped away through my grasp.

On a moment when fear and dreams must collide,
it frightens us to use our mind.
The only thing we can call our own.
We look at each other, but we never say a word.

I am comprised by all the things I never was,
and everything I could never be is haunting me.
An ideal or maybe even a dream is questioning me.
That was never meant for us, it was never meant to be.

There are no shortcuts to get out of this chaos.
Shackled in chains, we truly forgot what it means to be alive.
Instead of enjoying we are constantly filled with a burden.
To fulfil every expectation of the ones that raised us.

Let’s not hide ourselves but let our frustrations walk.
Humans are existing, but not living.

On a moment when fear and dreams must collide,
it frightens us to use our mind.
The only thing we can call our own.
We look at each other, but we never say a word.
