lyrics

I regret it all but it made me who I am today
I'll take my pride, I won't look back
I wish I could burn it all and start again
I don't have enough to salvage this time

There's so much this life lacks
It's all too short but I'm always looking back
On who I was, my hopes and my dreams
They were all stolen from me

Gutted like a pig
Haunted everyday by my decisions
This is what I asked for

I wish I could be the ignorant one
You make it all look so easy
And it's hard looking at the world so poorly
I know too much, it will never go away
I look outside, I see my friends moving on
Content with the life they chose

I've been looked down upon
I have been cast out
Too high on myself to conform
And too low to enjoy a normal life
Am I running out of time?

I am afraid the walls are closing around me
I'm out of options
This is a dead end
Where do I go from here?

Why can't you see it through my eyes?
Why can't you feel what I feel?
You see, they've made you blind
The tide is rising and the wave will swallow you

I am the young and the hopeless
I never wanted any of this
To be an old soul with such a young mind
The knowledge, the courage to step out of line

Always forced to change
I'll tell you now
I am no slave
