[Intro]
Keep walking
Don't lose that balance
Focus on anything
But the floor

(mmm, mmm)

[Verse 1]
Move forward
Like you're expected
Was this the life that
You bargained for?

[Verse 2]
Keep going
(keep going, keep going)
Ignore the hurting
(ignore the, ignore the hurting)
Even if everything hurts a while

(mmm, mmm)

[Verse 3]
Things happen
(things happen, things happen)
Not much to do now
(not much to, not much to do now)
Haven't you figured out
How to smile?
(oooo, ooo)

[Chorus]
The winds of repression
Escaping your lungs
Built from the fallacies
Of trying to pretend

Where is the voice that
You gave to yourself
If the remorse could choke it
Out of you again?

[Bridge]
Keep walking

Just keep walking

[Verse 4]
Just fight it
(just fight it, just fight it)
Soldier of metal
(soldier of metal, soldier of metal)
Looking as durable (looking as)
As a stone (looking as durable, as a stone)
(as a stone)
[Verse 5]
But time
(but time, but time)
Will leave rust to settle
(will leave rust, will leave rust to settle)
And slowly decay through (slowly decay)
Your wooden bones
(slowly decay through your wooden bones)
(mmm, mmm)

[Verse 6]
No structure
(no structure, no structure)
Left to contain you
(left to con, left to contain you)
Lessened to smoke (lessened to)
And dust in the dark
(lessened to smoke and dust in the dark)

[Verse 7]
No spirit
(no spirit, no spirit)
Left to sustain you
(left to sus, left to sustain you)
The ashes of forced restraint
Leave their mark
[Chorus]
The winds of repression
Escaping your lungs
Built from the fallacies
Of trying to pretend

So where's the compassion
You promised yourself
When you endured a hell
That never seemed to end?

[Outro]
Keep walking…
