Dark disasters and pointless pain
Illusions bitten for no gain
Take a risk, take a fall
Follow the ones who do it all
Herds like sheep, follow true
Bask in these secrets simply subdue
Bury it deeper in the ground, not who you are
Not who you’ll be; you are now from afar
Hands grab the mind; call them stress
Those illusive peers they start to press
Molded like clay and distorted in guilt
A castle of lies that was built
Walked a road through thorns
Near the end, quicken your pace, your feet warn
Don’t trip up now, you’ve come too far
And those memories? They weren’t all so hard
Light shines brightest in the dark
And if it weren’t for fear there’d be no spark
You’ll keep going, stronger than the past
Time moves fast so make it last.

Dark disasters and pointless pain
Illusions bitten for no gain
Take a risk, take a fall
Follow the ones who do it all
Herds like sheep, follow true
Bask in these secrets simply subdue
Bury it deeper in the ground, not who you are
Not who you’ll be; you are now from afar
Hands grab the mind; call them stress
Those illusive peers they start to press
Molded like clay and distorted in guilt
A castle of lies that was built
Walked a road through thorns
Near the end, quicken your pace, your feet warn
Don’t trip up now, you’ve come too far
And those memories? They weren’t all so hard
Light shines brightest in the dark
And if it weren’t for fear there’d be no spark
You’ll keep going, stronger than the past
Time moves fast so make it last.
