Pride: Lieoness

Am I an empty vessel?
Just a shadow of myself
Cause it feels like I am treading water without a purpose or a direction
I know there has to be more than this
To live a life rather than just exist
You don’t know you hope until you’ve been hopeless
Maybe I’m bitter but I know I deserve this
More than you could ever know
Don’t waste away, start your life today
Don’t wait for tomorrow
Where do we go from here?
We gotta close the distance
Cause I won’t be held back by my fears
Now I’m close to the edge and the last is clearly so
Where do we go from here?
We gotta close the distance
We all claim to be the victims of circumstance
When the fact of the matter is this
We’re never willing to take the chance
To be more than we deemed ourselves to be
I will forever remain vigilant until the end
When it feels like your head is underwater
And you’re gasping for air, remember these words
Remember these words
There’s someone out there who cares
When it feels like the worst is yet to come
Just be headstrong and carry on through the dark ahead
Well haven’t you heard, it’s the end of the world
It’s time to stand up and make yourself be counted
Well haven’t you heard, it’s the end of the world
So stand up, stand up for what you believe in
