We’re stuck in tracks, printed long before us
the impression of progress keep us stray, in the darkness
Blinded, deaf, so calmly, we suffocate.
the way out is dreadful and thorny.
Branches cut my face, and hold me back
I loose my step, tripping on the roots
Its hard to get past it, Its hard to get past myself
It would seem Im lost so far, without goal.
BUT IN THE DISTANCE
I CAN HEAR THE FIRE
First of all I have to batter
the walls built inside my mind
Because they chain me down the most
Open my eyes and belive that there is a light
Stand up on my feet and breathe in new fresh air
Begin to take steps armed with new energy and belief.
Trust in myself and in my passion
a fire in my heart.
I can make a crown of thornes, be satisfied and
pretend that theres no one bleeding
but no longer can I stay comfortable fooled
learn, admit and react.
Someday I want to see the clear sky
This place has taught me how to dream.
I want to see thrones crumbling into dust.
This place has forced me to imagine.
statues tumbled on the ground
This place has taught me how to dream
flags ripped into rags, ruins of the “glory”
But this place wont last forever
i want to see flames burning it all down
This lethargy has lasted way too long
we were blindfolded and lost in time
fires are ignited and spreading out
They cant all be stepped on or put out, the fires.
the despair is vanished in flames
I can hear it the inextinguishable fire.
