lyrics

They say to be the change that you want to see
Could you be the change that you want to see

I'm consumed in the nothingness
Nothingness I've made my home
I've walked these lonely hallways all alone
Growing thinner each time I venture through
Awake to the same routine in this cage I've called my room

This place seems so familiar like I've been here before
Oh how I've sought a new beginning

They say to be the change that you want to see
Can one man bring change to a world of suffering
Could you be the change that you long to see
I know there's something missing

Bumper to bumper, sink or you float,
disposable paper, hand after throat
Taste become bitter, synthetic hosts
apathy bearers, the visible ghost

Permanence is not feasible
What's present is just temporary
Reflecting is not so simple
but I know we are recovering

Cold hands reaching out for stones
Will always be left empty
We are capable of recovery
You'll achieve nothing but a palm of sand

Like a star fading out have I lost my shine
Take this displaced heart to realign

This place seems so familiar
Like I've been here before
Oh how I've sought a new beginning
This place seems so familiar
I was face on the floor
When do we perceive
when do we stop pretending
