Song Lyrics Verse 1
Lost within
Trapped by
The sins
Of the world
That makes
Your very head spin
The face in the mirror
Now so unfamiliar
As you give in
Just to fit in
Within a nightmare
Only to wake up
And do it all again
Chorus
The you within
Begging to be
Let out
As you no longer
Even recognize
The you in the mirror
Screaming to be seen
Verse 2
Walking down the street
Falling victim
To all the lies
You see
Telling you
What to feel
And who to be
Your need to fit in
Drowning out
Your individuality
Screaming just to be seen
While all around you
Society drowns in it's own insanity
Chorus
Hard-driving, soul-stirring
Hard-driving, soul-stirring lyrics that hit the bullseye on what it means to struggle for authenticity in an inauthentic world. I tell you honestly: your slamming, introspective and true-to-life lyrics outshine much of what I've heard in contemporary music. You have a gift, dear song spinner!
