Piece by piece I paint a picture that could hold the keys
To the answers to the questions agitating me
In this life we were forced on paths that were not made to cross
We've been condemned to these broken homes
See we all grew up in a labyrinth of a dying world
Where the best things in life are no longer free
These eyes grew up seeing one way streets
Everywhere that I turned I saw deceit
God can't save you from dissimulation at hand of the blueprints of manipulation
These silent screams are the cause and effect of our selfish greed
Where our life force flows in the wrong direction, it seems,
Near impossible to reverse the tide and restore the balance
To our lives where the grass was greener on the other side
I'm neck deep on my own two feet
I know I'm never gonna
I know I'm never gonna make it far
I won't bother coming home tonight
Because I'm tired
Because I'm tired of this fucking life
I see nations falling before its long enough
Generations cease to live,
Long enough to eliminate their tyrannical crime
Pulling us underneath with the hands of time
Where we cannot see anything
Pulling us underneath with the hands of time
Where we can't see anything
This is a call to the earth, a little shimmer of light,
A tiny glimmer of hope, to all of those making a brighter change in the world
I know it makes a difference, it's embedded with hope
I'm neck deep on my own two feet
I know I'm never gonna
I know I'm never gonna make it far
I won't bother coming home tonight
Because I'm tired
Because I'm tired of this fucking life
I'm neck deep on my own two feet
I know I'm never gonna
I know I'm never gonna make it far
I won't bother coming home tonight
Because I'm tired
Because I'm tired of this fucking life
