I'm standing so close that it pulls me in
the world I love isn't all it used to be
so what the fuck
would it take to be free? I dunno
when every word we fight for we never wrote
and there are beasts out there that dont want you to dream
there are vampires that take your heart from everything
now you're a weight on the world that fears sympathy
I'm fucking scared man, that we are never going to grow
who would you call insane
a man with nothing, that knows the gift of today
or the man with everything, that hopes tomorrow will go his way
all I know is
a heavy heart will ground the biggest wings
what do we know of happiness
we're told to want it but never give
I've gotta bear it like I'm brave I'm
not all the years I built a burden on my soul
I will tear into my inside
and stitch the wound in me where I forgot to live
I'm standing so close that it pulls me in
the world I love isnt all it used to be
so what the fuck
would it take to be free? I dunno
when every word we fight for we never wrote
and there are beasts out there that dont want you to dream
there are vampires that take your heart from everything
dont let them turn the world without your own beliefs
you could be the heart that changes everything
