lyrics

My hopelessness keeps me counting the days till I can let go of fear and break away from misery
This weight crushing my chest
This air that fills my lungs
All seems too much for me
When I needed clarity
When I needed air to breathe

Compelled to the shadows of my mind
Compelled to a world of grief
It seems to rain forever
So hard to keep my nose clean
(So hard to strive for something)
Always a search for purpose
Always a search for meaning

So I try to free my mind from these binding cages society has built around my mind and isolated me from my true self
We know something has to change but we lose the structure
A conscious revolution to bring us all together
All of our hopes can never be met
In place where desires are an endless chase
The feeling still remains in a sense of petty want for something better every single day

And I've casted myself aside for so long
just find an ounce of my own self worth
but every thing around me is a constant reminder that freedom is a broken concept that we all seem to yearn.
But without understanding and without a sense of focus we are doomed to a steady falter.
But I want more than just a stagnant life
and it's always been better for me to have a heart without a home
to not be bound to a single thing
to know what it truly means to be free.

Fall to your knees
The comfort in cold dirt
Put me in the grave
Just don't let me burn
I want to feel what it means to fade
To be free of this shell and to be free of this place
This suffering is no life to live
For every promise I hold for every love I give
I count these stars and wish on the wind just anything I can do to feel alive again.

We were meant so much more

And every day we find a new struggle to overcome just as a test for something bigger
I know we all can feel this collective anxiety that were meant for something bigger, than just this empty life.

We were meant for so much more.
