Nothing Short of Irrelevance

I wash away every part of me
Everything I never want you to see
Why can't I just be me?

I don't want to live in this misery
This is driving me to insanity

As I take this mask so you can't see
Becoming someone that I don't want to be
Just to fit into your society

Even the brightest stars go dim
It doesn't mean this is the end
Just stay in the light
I promise we'll get through this alive

The downtrodden, the heartbroken
Keep it deep so it's not spoken
We've been beaten. We've been put down
It's time for us to give our lives a new sound
I know it's hard to get up some days
I know it's hard to stand up and say
"My God will someone please help me
I don't know if I can make it another day"

Even the brightest stars go dim
It doesn't mean this is the end
Just stay in the light
I promise we'll get through this alive

I feel a breeze at the top of the mountain
It's all behind me. It's all below me
As the sun sets, I won't forget but now I'll keep moving on

Whoa oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh

If you feel beaten down, look deep inside your soul when you need it the most
We are products of our past but we don't have to be it's prisoner, we walk headstrong
We can build an empire out of this wreckage. Don't give up just yet!
