I am awake, but I swear I'm only dreaming This pain is what drives me, it keeps me from losing sleep I've let myself fall obsolete I can't recall a time where I felt complete This deep abyss inside my head is all I know I forgot what it's like to be alone Now I'm so far from home This is a disaster How the hell have we ended up this way Forever learning How to live with our (live with our mistakes) Now the world around me's changing I will stay the same Upon foundations built from better days (Built from better days) While these offensives keep growing While my defensives are slowing I find myself without a leg to stand upon Where do I truly belong Ive been walking this road for far to long Without a sense of purpose, I must carry on I wear compassion, like a noose around my neck How the hell did it come to this? Another nightmare in every fucking severed tie I have foreseen the coming storm But I'll be damned if it consumes us all This is a disaster How the hell have we ended up this way Forever learning How to live with our (live with our mistakes) As the world around me's changes I will stay the same Upon foundations built from better days This is a disaster And its written all over your face You're too ashamed to face the blame so I will take your place As the world around me's changes I will stay the same Upon foundations built from better days Before we fade away Oh how I've told you a thousand times Self preservation is a part of life Oh how I've told you a thousand fucking times You cannot take what is rightfully mine
