Lyrics[]
Messed up, once again, told me it's okay
But this path that I'm taken, I'm lost in the deep end
My last chance, nevermore, told me it's alright
In this sea of denial, I'm cleansed in the fire
So why is it me?
Am I blinded or too blind to see? (Am I to blind see?)
Why was I born
Not a part of this society?
Again and again
I tried so hard to reach for the stars but I failed you all
Try to keep standing tall
Never had a real chance at all
But still I'm searching
Same thing, different day, try to make a change
Let with nothing more to live for, but everything to die for
Humanity, insanity, the everlasting grip
Lost our will to keep trying, I bet we must lie in
So why was I born
Not a part of this society?
I tried so hard to reach for the stars but I failed you all
Try to keep standing tall
Never had a real chance at all
But still I'm searching
For two thousand ways to say sorry
The life writes its own tragic story
Time marches onwards and nothing can ever be the same
But we'll pray for a brighter tomorrow
Break free from this lifetime of sorrow
Years pass us by but we're all just a part of the game
I tried so hard to reach for the stars but I failed you all
Try to keep standing tall
Never had a real chance at all
But still I'm searching
I tried so hard to reach for the stars but I failed you all
Try to keep standing tall
Never had a real chance at all
But still I'm searching
For two thousand ways to say sorry
The life writes its own tragic story
Time marches onwards and nothing can ever be the same
But we'll pray for a brighter tomorrow
Break free from this lifetime of sorrow
Years pass us by but we're all just a part of the game
