The First of Autumn - Enya

Are you afraid of the world outside, Fond of the scales growing over our eyes, The catalyst thrives mortality undone, You're defective I'm done with it, Mold the world until it fits in your answer, Cheat every test to press on, Twist the world like it doesn't matter, Turn every truth to venom, I see the hurricane on the horizon, I know the eyes of the storm will swallow me whole, Believe in the lies they use to break you, I'm wasting my time trying to save you, Increasing contamination, The veins in my eyes start to split and tear, You poisoned the the air, Total hypocrisy, A plague on humanity, Feel the noose pulling tighter and tighter, Draining the strength to press on, So kick the chair, Finding that nobody cares, I see the hurricane on the horizon, I know the eye of the storm will swallow me whole, Were nothing if were not cursed, A dead march for the singular being, Everything you are disappears, A hollow shall programmed for hatred, No point in being, You fake to fit the whole, No individual, Watch them take control, Its unforgivable, Wasting away to nothing in an instant, Failed by the kids that define my existence, The catalyst thrives, Mortality undone, You're defective I'm done with it.

I must make a choice A tough decision Listen to my voice Should I give in To temptation admiration? One leads to myself The other someone else Just an empty shell Just an empty shell It's harder than it seems When you're told that All your hopes and dreams Are yours to hold if You just give them What's expected Something they can sell Put upon a shelf But I am not for sale I am not for sale I hear a voice inside It's grown into a scream I'm not the next of them I am the first of me 'Cause I can't live the lie I am just what you see I'm not the next of them I am the first of me If I can't refuse The price they offer I am sure to lose And I will suffer Sell my soul to make a profit All I have to do Is make believe it's true That's something I can't do That's something I can't do I hear a voice inside It's grown into a scream I'm not the next of them I am the first of me 'Cause I can't live the lie I am just what you see I'm not the next of them I am the first of me I am the first of me I am the first of me So when the waiting's done And it's time to face the truth You know you're good enough Deep down inside of you You've finally woken up If only just to prove You are born to lead the way And be the first of you
