lyrics

I’m not usually the one who speaks out.
After years of being told to back down
and watch as all that makes us human falls apart.
Just look at me now.

The smooth passing by of every week.
All those years of never knowing when to speak.
I’ve trapped myself and now I have to set me free.
And I know how.


And after my alienation,
broke through illusions, saw your grip, stone cold.
And despite your exaggerations,
what do you want to know?


It’s easier to say the words
Than to ensure the message gets through.
You’ll never have to pay an effort,
when responsibilities due.

It’s harder now to fight for nothing
than to let it rest and back down.
In spite of you, I tried my hardest.
And now I think it’s time we turn around.


I’m not usually the type for dice or cards,
you’ve played your ace of spades, I’ll keep my 8 of hearts.
you’re rolling snake eyes from your precious loaded dice.
such a backfire.

Lesson materials including life and death.
I’ve missed your principles of teaching no respect.
Sometimes I’ve wondered if you’re truly hypnotized.
I’m sick and tired...


And after my alienation
broke through illusions, saw your sick, dead soul.
and aside from affiliations,
what’s left to know?


It’s easier to say the words
Than to ensure the message gets through.
You’ll never have to pay any effort,
when responsibilities due.

It’s harder now to fight for nothing
than to let it rest and back down.
In spite of you, I tried my hardest.
And now I think it’s time we turn around.

It’s what I’ve found,
it’s harder now,
why not back down,
when all is wrong?
It’s what I’ve found,
it’s harder now,
just turn around,
the past is gone.
