Prompt / Lyrics

Can you remember a time. When both of your feet touched the ground. A time and place where others wanted you around. Before the weight of the world was placed on your shoulders. Way back when, before your life was taken over. Remembering being at peace right before the war. When you needed less and still you got more. No reason to doubt what the fuck you were fighting for.
[Pre Chorus]
Are you living the nightmare or are you living the dream. Is reality what you made it or is nothing as it seems. Why do you think it's all about you. When can it finally be about me.

[Chorus]
So when I finally fall down. Will I be able to calm the voices in my head. I have been beaten down and shattered over and over again. I've been torn to pieces. Ripped apart from the creases. Never to know what true peace is. I don't fucking need this.

[Verse]
This is what I know. Your holding me back. The way you treat me, I could never treat you like that. I can't fucking take it anymore. I want my life back. But I'm lost in the darkness and I can't find my way back. For once in your life I need you to see. That it's not all about you. This time it's all about me.
[Pre Chorus]
Are you living the nightmare or are you living the dream. Is reality what you made it or is nothing as it seems. Why do you think it's all about you. When can it finally be about me.

[Chorus]
So when I finally fall down. Will I be able to calm the voices in my head. I have been beaten down and shattered over and over again. I've been torn to pieces. Ripped apart from the creases. Never to know what true peace is. I don't fucking need this.
[Bridge]
Can you see I'm down on my knees. Begging please. Lossen the hold you have on me. I can't control these feelings that are coming from the heart. Please show mercy. Rather then tearing me the fuck apart. Where is our ending. When can I finally start.
[Pre Chorus]
Are you living the nightmare or are you living the dream. Is reality what you made it or is nothing as it seems. Why do you think it's all about you. When can it finally be about me.

[Chorus]
So when I finally fall down. Will I be able to calm the voices in my head. I have been beaten down and shattered over and over again. I've been torn to pieces. Ripped apart from the creases. Never to know what true peace is. I don't fucking need this.
[Outro]
