You're completely detached from all human relations. You've forsaken friendship for a "good education" The ideal that you follow is institutionalized deindividualization. Do everything that you've been taught. Take advantage of your young age. You'll get handed a wealthy future if you maintain perfect grades. Money can grant you many things, but happiness can't be paid for. A diploma can't relieve tribulation. It can only open doors. The kind that close quickly. Better choose now, or you'll be left wanting. Industrial society with programmed beliefs. Superficial values implanted seamlessly. Fierce leveled heads screwed on too tight. Friendly faces come, and go, shrinking in size. Focused on the horizon, leaving present days behind. Sometimes your aspirations destroy lives. Exchange a future of sentimental memories. Fill your every thought with the craving for prestige. You say time won't change us, but that's not what I've seen. Do you ever ask yourself what the hell you are doing?

Dizziness sets in as I awaken This empty bedroom illustrates my mind to life Sometimes I imagine you and I dancing Tomorrow has come, but you never woke up Where are you? I hope it's somewhere sweet Far from Michigan Doubt salivates inside our petrified forest of past chipper heights What the hell's the meaning of living if you no longer exist The more I get off my chest the emptier I become I felt you watching me the other day Maybe I've gone nuts If platitudes could've saved you I'd've saved you from yourself I swear

Have you ever walked down a road In which you weren't allowed to turn back? Sometimes we choose a path to follow And later on regret our first step If we let our failures paralyze us We'll only drift further into dismay Every misstep instills a lesson Our corrections are ours to make Nights of lament, and days of seething Could taint the purest person's intentions If we seek rehabilitation We better exercise cognition Break away from familiar judgment to perceive things differently Will we rise with initiative, or lay undetermined to leave our beds? Nobody ever wants to die regretful, or unrecognized Don't let your disinterests govern your entire lives Stop your war for inner peace, for peace begins with truce When one battles with oneself catastrophe ensues Hide your true identity by wearing your parents shoes Or be the change you want to see, for change begins with you Everyone has those nights when they feel like giving up It feels like you're pressing on the gas But you're still holding in the clutch It's a infamous feeling that we never disclose If we don't preserve than we'll succumb To the wickedness that lingers in our subconscious It's moments of laughter that mend our dispositions We envision a future where happiness is effortless It beacons the question will those days ever come? We'll conquer disillusion Through the strength of our conviction We'll conquer disillusion Through the strength of our conviction We'll conquer disillusion Through the strength of our conviction We'll conquer disillusion Through the strength of our conviction

I watched myself sleep, woke a second too soon My eyes fixated on a translucent fume Into me again like a window I climbed But a part of me was left behind The abyss is a temptress Impossible for me to resist Every silence it beckons Wake me Up! Wake me Up! Sleep is becoming a prize Worth more than my entire life I try to pry open my eyes Wake me Up! Wake me Up! I feel it gnawing at my skin As I'm losing consciousness Forever auto piloted I've accepted it now Without intent I'm shackled inside Peering through someone else's eyes Unable to step into the light Where am I, Where have I gone

In the darkest moment of her life The needle pierced her arm for the first time She didn't want to read the deal she signed She vanished into the abyss by design Self retrain was a virtue Found only in her deepest dreams Its practice was made difficult By the strains of poverty The world tore at her heels Until it brought her to her knees She felt as though she were alone Adrift a toxic sea She wore sarcasm as a personal shield To deflect combatants on the dating field Men warmed her bed. Their egos must've been fed She obliged them so long as they were there It was difficult to change her point of view those days Her mistakes were stained upon her mirror A self-proclaimed escape was a mere expansion To the metaphysical cage she could not abandon In the darkest moment of her life The needle pierced her arm for the first time She didn't want to read the deal she signed She vanished into the abyss by design The girl she was got left behind To get her back she'd pay any price She touched her hand to the wall every night She swam towards shore, but couldn't resist the tide Her self-worth came from others eyes In her street-walking enterprise Pessimism blossomed turning her feeble So she found escape through a needle Her life became a series of disasters She envied her diaries previous chapters She hit rock bottom, and that's where she lay She's gone, but we'll never forget her face In the darkest moment of her life The needle pierced her arm for the first time She didn't want to read the deal she signed She vanished into the abyss by design
