Lyrics
[part I: cornered again]
(instrumental)
[part II: limit]
i hide behind this wall whenever I am scared;
too aware to reconsider the futility of life-
gone through hell and back to give much of a care,
and what clarity remains has been pulled outward like a knife
This coexistence isn't something that sustains-
You complain about my uselessness when all attempts were made
I could feel the lack of mercy in your veins
And the shame that washes over me as feeling starts to fade
(We don't accept you)
couldn't you leave me alone?
(Could you shut up and let me try to help you)
i have been everything that you wanted
i've done all that i could to atone
(Become what you'd regret)
it must not be enough if it's haunting us.
the tarnished memories of people weigh me down
while i question inconsistencies of those i thought i knew;
seldom saw the faces through their blaring sounds;
couldn't tell if disappointment was portrayed or misconstrued-
and i remember every limit of my mind-
can't pretend like i've done nothing when all i could do was try.
i have grown to hate the things i can't confine,
when these weaknesses are things that will remain until i die.
THEY BROKE APART
THE DISGUISE I HAVE WORN
ILLUSIONS HAVE TORN THE WORLD AROUND ME
CAN'T RESTART
IF MY COVER IS BLOWN
MY FLAWS ARE ALL SHOWN AND CROWDS SURROUND ME
SINGLED OUT
AS THE DIFFERENT ONE
EACH ONE OF THEM SHUN ME AS THEY'RE BREATHING
I TRY TO SHOUT
BUT THEY CHOOSE TO IGNORE
THE CONSTANT IMPLORING OF THE GRIEVING-
WHAT AM I?
(I'M IN DISGUST FROM THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE SAID
WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME, THEN?)
WHAT AM I?
(FORGET YOUR PAST, FOR IT ALL REMAINS DEAD
REACH OUT FOR THE SUN, FRIEND)
WHAT AM I?!
(YOU'RE STILL OF USE, I REFUSE TO SUBMIT
THIS STORY ISN'T OVER
THERE'S NO EXCUSE- I REFUSE TO SUBMIT
THIS STORY ISN'T OVER)
[part III: reaching]
falling forward
reaching conclusions,
aching from your
self-made delusions,
you can't blame us
for your confusion;
your words inflame us-
cause disillusion
you stand still, but
we're all adapting;
pushing through, though
you're still distracting
one day you'll embrace the perspective
of those who held you at your most defective
until the moment you can say to us all that you can face all of the darkness and the dread,
you must understand that this bottomless swirl is just a dance we learn until we lead ahead
try not to interpret a negative view of the solutions you receive and face the sky-
the world will provide you with answers that help in your dependency for peace as time ticks by
but if we can't expect you to try,
then keep walking.
