You say this is freedom, like you know the word
You see it written on the wall but was it really ever heard
Repeating lyrics to a song you could never understand
Living life like a child, you’ll never grow up to be a man
Repetition of a lonely life
All the billboards lead the way
But without looking up
You’ll never reach the sky
Without looking up
You’ll never be that man
You can always be traced back to
Every shade of grey behind those who barely knew you
Barely knew the real you like I do
They will never, never know what you went through
They will never know you like I do
So hide your ego, disguise your pride
But know you’re not the only one
Watching yourself sinking down to size
You’re getting smaller day by day
Reproducing every cliché you used to so against
How long will this charade last?
