Do you wanna shine?
Like a diamond in a coal mine
I can feel me breakin under the pressure
I gotta keep my life together

Losing grip on my reality
Everything that lies in front of me
All that I love has slowly turned to dust
The sad reality of broken trust

So let's get back to what we used to be
When we were young and we felt so care free
I watch my innocence slip away from me

Trust me life is not so free and I've been
Lost in a memory
I feel lost and all alone
I'm on my own
Can we save this life we've made
Break the chain before it pulls you down with me
I need to find my sanity
The weight of the world is crushing me

As the seconds lapse, I feel my world collapse
Eyes set to kill, all the demons that you helped to build
I feel myself seperate from reality
With the all the pain inside of me, I start to disagree
With the ones I love, the ones who stood so tough
Stood by me even when I knew I had enough
The path of life teaches lessons that are hard to learn
When it's easier to watch you crash and burn

Remember when we used to flourish
Remember when as kids we'd play
What happened to the kid so nourished
Now everyone has turned to gray

Trust me life is not so free and I've been
Lost in a memory
I feel lost and all alone
I'm on my own
Can we save this life we've made
Break the chain before it pulls you down with me
I need to find my sanity
The weight of the world is crushing me

I fall sometimes but I stagger to my feet
My life ain't useless I fight to prove it
And all that I wanna be I come alive in the face of adversity
My life has purpose and I deserve it
And all that I wanna be (I won't turn to gray)

Trust me life is not so free and I've been
Lost in a memory
I feel lost and all alone
I'm on my own
Can we save this life we've made
Break the chain before it pulls you down with me
I need to find my sanity
The weight of the world is crushing me

Trust me life is not so free and I've been
Lost in a memory
I feel lost and all alone
The weight of the world is crushing me
