What You Are

Every perception is what you perceive
All that you know you were taught to believe
Something is stirring and something is cracked
There is no hope as you limp your way back
Pushing and pulling you rip at the seams
Working through problems set deep in your dreams
Searching for something that doesn’t exist
You caused all this…
I hope you know this, just in case you don’t notice
I’ve had a rough time so far
The symptoms are slowly growing
Show yourself for what you are
Wishing and willing that it disappears
Hoping and praying to conquer my fears
Searching for someone who someday will stay
Wanting it so but still pushing away
Is there some way to be perfectly clear
What’s in my face is all that I can hear?
Longing for some form of life to exist
You caused all this…
I hope you know this, just in case you don’t notice
I’ve had a rough time so far
The symptoms are slowly growing
Show yourself for what you are
Now I can see you for what you are, my eyes have been awakened
Now I can see you for what you are, the things we have forsaken
Now I can see you for what you are, the promises are broken
Now I can see you for what you are, the lives that have been taken
I hope you know this, just in case you don’t notice
I’ve had a rough time so far
The symptoms are slowly growing
Show yourself for what you are
(What you are…)
What you are!
What you are!
