lyrics

I’m sick of loosing myself in this routine
An unsatiable hunger to push past limits set by delusionable dreams

They create an image of perfection, ignoring my mistakes, your flaws, our artificial restraints

Dead weight on our shoulders
Walking in circles, an invisible burden dragging us down

Is this what we wanted in the first place?

Purpose lost along the way
Ignoring our decline
Pretending everything was fine

Cracks in our foundations
Blaming eachother for the imminent collapse
Get out, leave me be
I don’t need this, I don’t need you
Can't you see I don’t need this, I don’t need you

Purpose lost along the way
Ignoring our decline
Pretending everything was fine

Drown out the noise
Rebuild what once was
Return to where we were
Prevent total loss

Set us free
Step away from uncertainty
Set us free
Align us with reality
