the world is so vacant tonight
while children stare up with empty eyes
has it always been this way?
have I always been ashamed of who I am?
I’m searching for who I’m supposed to be
lost on roads untravelled, trying to find my way
and you wanted me to be who I am today
but if times would change and come apart I know that
we could be the ones, we could change it all
the memories of my youth
have scarred the bones I’ve grown into
toppled upon by your own desires
I’m overwhelmed and I’m tired, I feel it yesterday
sometimes I’ve failed before I’ve even began
and I try and it eats all I have
but inside my heart I know, I know that
we could be the ones, we could change it all
don’t embrace the darkness in you
sometimes it isn’t easy to search for the meaning of truth
the cities sleep and crumble while others might tear it down
I walk through, and I’m sure that I’ve finally found that
we could be the ones, we could change it all
I won’t give in to my mistakes
I won’t be ashamed of who I am
take back your words of changing me
I’ve gone to change it all
