lyrics

We’re getting left behind

When I was young I was told that I could do anything
But these lies deceived
I was never meant to be more than a candle left unlit
When I was older I was told, the world is on your shoulders
Good luck with it
You really should just go, you should just leave this world behind

And I find that in the darkness no one sees
The hate in my eyes for the ones I despise, as you watch me capsize
And when I turn to dust, there will be nothing left to hide
Nothing left to find, except

My way up out from underneath this cloud
But it follows me, I would never be set free
Allowed to leave these thoughts behind
And you’re there behind me to strike me down
You marched me into down, so you can burn me down
Burn me At The Stake

And I find that in the darkness no one sees
The hate in my eyes for the ones I despise, as you watch me capsize
And when I turn to dust, there will be nothing left to hide
Nothing left to find, except

Stay the course
Screams the captain, they can hear me drowning
But the ship holds it’s course just fine
The captain goes down with the ship
But the ship’s not the problem, I’m on my own to solve them
And I don’t think there’s much time left
The ship sprung a leak but they’re all on the deck
They won’t even know it they’re already dead
