Vicious world breaks you down takes away your breath
Underneath your paper skin you have nothing left
Push yourself down into a box, put up on a shelf
Sitting back just to witness it done by everyone else
Stand on the side, waiting for your time, just to feel alive
Passing you by!
Stand on the side, dragging your feet, you fail to question
Struggling inside
Living in silence, buried in regret
The choice is yours, let's not forget
Waiting for the moment to be yourself
Witnessing the world through someone else
Stand on the side, waiting for your time, just to feel alive
While the world keeps passing you by
Stand on the side, dragging your feet, you fail to question
Watching them rise, watching them rise....dying inside
Watching them Rise!
Lost in confusion, a fantasy of who we aught to be
Release the fear letting go of what keeps holding me...down
