lyrics

Have you ever walked into a room
And noticed something’s not quite right
Untimely intervention stalls up the days’ plans
You stand atop the edge, head into your hands

How did this fall into your lap?
When did you ever say ok?
You’ve been a victim lying under your own gun
Life is maxed out and you’re not having any fun

I cannot take this anymore

I’m taking off

Another day of constant battle
No one transparent with themselves
If you just took a look ahead you could avoid eternal mess
One wrong move foreshadows the next, there goes the rest….

What are we doing to ourselves
We put ourselves in prison cells

In these progressive times why stop now, let’s change the norm
We need a world where we can live in our true form
Where no one ridicules until you fit the mold
Never-ending 1950 sure is getting old

Your self-inflicting lifestyle, you give yourself away
The doors are closed for you, too much responsibility
You thought you had to do this, but no one has to do this

When will we stop following outdated customs swallowing
Every moment of our free time and our free will
To chase “success” and reproduce just calls for breakdown and the noose
You’ve got to stop and say “it’s not for me, it’s not for me”
It’s just a plan made by the suits to control people from the roots
The herd so tied down there’s no time to seek the truth

Stay young in spirit, young at heart, young in spirit, young at heart
You are alive, you have control, this is your world, so think smart

Are you brave enough to own your freedom?
Then let’s illustrate the world

One paintstroke at a time
