Born into a world, demands and corrections
Chasing ghosts of past reflections
Held to standards, shattered connections
Can't break free, locked in my own projections
Every breath I take, seen through a lens
Judged by the standards of family and friends
Living in a shadow of bright projections
Every step I take, under inspection
I've no dreams left, void direction
Empty heart, no protection
Damn! I can't meet their eyes!
Damn! No hope, inside I die!
Pressure mounts, the walls close in tight
Every move, scrutinized in the light
Lost my way, can't see through the fight
Silent screams echo through the night
Wanted to be more, but I've failed somehow
Dreams I had are distant memories now
Gazing in the mirror, see a stranger's face
The weight of the world, it's a heavy brace
Hope fades black in this lonely space
Silence my voice, without a trace
Damn! The fire inside has died!
Damn! In this battle, I'm crucified!
Damn! I can't meet their eyes
Damn, no hope inside, I die
Damn! The fire inside has died!
Damn! In this battle, I'm crucified!
Damn! I can't meet their eyes
Damn, no hope inside, I die
