I've got so much to say but I just don't know how to say it.
A consciousness suppressed and shut down deep within us.
So little time to find, are we just faking each breath to save our lives?
So little time to find a reflection we'll stand by.
We show the truth inside, when nobody's looking.
Stop running away from the voice that keeps calling, the voice that keeps calling you.
To start taking your aim, hold fast in this life, and break down your pride one final time.
To walk a different way, sustain each second that I'm breathing,
In restlessness I'll seek to find all we keep within us.
So little time to find, are we just faking each breath to save our lives?
So little time to find a reflection we'll stand by.
We show the truth inside, when nobody's looking,
We show them what we're like, when nobody's looking at us
Stop running away from the voice that keeps calling, the voice that keeps calling you.
To start taking your aim, hold fast in this life, and break down your pride one final time.
All in a moment a dream can be stolen, are we not too far gone?
All in a moment a dream can be stolen, what keeps us moving on?
All in a moment a dream can be stolen, what keeps us moving so slow?
We fear a distance from the world that's right in front of us, from any kind of man who'll never try again,
We fear a distance from the world that's right in front of us.
But isolation is the key and it's the catalyst for any kind of man who'll never try again,
We fear the distance when we're moving so slow.
But when I look at you you're never moving on.
Stop running away from the voice that keeps calling, the voice that keeps calling you.
To start taking your aim, hold fast in this life, and break down your pride one final time.
