repeating cycles of paralysis nightmares has left me wondering why should i sleep trying to remember a time when beauty this aligned occurred right before my eyes i ve always been the one to come up short to be unstable but im perfectly able i just want to go back to a time where i can breathe again my ambitions always get shut down but nothing can take this away i must stay strong you have always tried to hold me down but nothing can take this away i must stay strong i must stay strong i ll always chase this until the end of time i ll always chase you where we can both collide i ll always chase this until the end of time i ll always chase you if only we could grasp it we could be so high but the weight of the world s always bringing me down we re standing on hollowed ground no substance in life but the will to survive but how can we live this way i will meet my maker i will escape i can face this there s a whisper that speaks in volumes it draws the fear right out of my mind can you hear the voices at night can you hear the voices at night i m not as strong as i think i am i m not as strong as i think i am i m not as strong as i think i am but i know i can conquer this it s haunting how the color fades and the flavor loses its taste but i can t keep away i m waiting for the day when all of my dreams don t seem so far away my ambitions always get shut down but nothing can take this away i must stay strong you have always tried to hold me down but nothing can take this away i must stay strong i must stay strong
