Again
We're walking through a haze
It’s a crowded maze of apathy and rage
But what's the point of this?
If we stay any longer
Our dreams will fade away
I'm done with trying to achieve what I left behind
It is better to redefine what I live for!
The past is gone
My friend, it’s feeling like the old days
But I'll be damned if I let my absence of innocence ever
Hold me back!

This sin that's inside me will always be oppressing
Cannot ignore this unbearable suffering
I'm sick and tired of feeling as a victim
What am I waiting for now?
Tryin' to write down the words as I feel them
But can I separate the truth from what is fiction?
Can't escape, no more turning back now! This is reality!

Within the night sky, the rest of our short lives
Never resting in complacency (I'm on my way)
If we are to have dreams
Then there is no such thing as safe and sound
We have no place to call home!
Wasting time and we're wasting our lives
Trying to fix what can never be changed (This is my wish)
Nostalgia’s comfort, it disappears into a “now“ fury!
I must apologize
This pride that’s inside me always telling lies
Like I am in control
Of the things that were not ever my burdens to hold
I carried everything back then
And I will carry everything that's within my reach
Though I know that, it’s killing me
I breathe, gotta let the anger pass over me
So I can communicate what I'm feeling
I close my eyes!

Tell me why, why they must repeat lies?
Saying we're friends but they'll never know what’s inside!
My heart, burning with a malice for all the sly deception
For every falsehood that's trying to perpetuate
You take a step further from the world you decorate!
Reality, as well as contentment, will always be out of reach!

To the night sky, I scream out my crimes
Trying to will away this guilty plea (I'm on my way)
If we are to have dreams
Then there is no such thing as safe and sound
We have no place to call home!
You take the time, and I thank you for trying
To understand this mess I've made of me (This is my wish)
Be friend or foe, I... welcome anyone who'll challenge me!
I am searching for the next door
Opening for me a path to the truth
Sometimes we don't write our own story
And we can't erase what's written within
Open your eyes, open your eyes!

Wasting time and we're wasting our lives
Trying to fix what can never be changed
So, take this damned life
And lead me to where I can start over
I'll let go of all this pain!

Into the night sky, I scream out my crimes
Trying to will away this guilty plea (I'm on my way)
If we are to have dreams
Then there is no such thing as safe and sound
We have no place to call home!
You take the time, and I thank you for trying
To understand this mess I've made of me (This is my wish)
Be friend or foe, I... welcome anyone who'll challenge me!
