Igniting Impulse

I've been standing here contemplating life
Wondering if I'll amount to something worth while
This feeling's all consuming
It plagues the heart and plagues the mind
Failing motivations
In ways that feel malign

I'm stepping into the fire of ambiguity
It's all I have to prove my worth
This masquerade has gone on for long enough
But will it ever end?

Struck dead at the the bottom
The only way is to call upon the best of me
We're growing sane
As we progress our dreams
Inventing ways to determine our destiny

We hold the doubts of all the masses and feel the burden
But we only have one shot at this life
When it starts to pour
And you feel misgiven
Just know that life has it's failsafes that we hide

I'm stepping into the fire
Dreaming endlessly
All that it takes is to rise up from the ashes
Shaking the burdens we hold so close
In memory of who I was before

Are we giving up so easily?
Or are we taking the steps to finding that fate

There's no heart in this fight
If we drag our days into years
Living it out so passively and sinking into depths
Of dying delusion

We've been engrained with the standards that plague our hearts
Feeding into the notion that we have a choice
I need to break from the grimness
And find a way that opens up my mind

I can't find the heart in this fight anymore
Bringing every bit of strength that I have to ignite
It shouldn't be this way, having to choose between right and wrong
But making either decision unsound

Are we giving up so easily
And swallowing our bravery?
Falling deeper and deeper into the paradigm of society

I need to break from this numbness that I hide
Shaking the burdens
Taking the path that I know will bring me closer to my legacy
Taking the path that will save me
It's time to break from this numbness that's been my life

We're fighting for the feeling of hope
And of reconciliation
We're fighting for our chance to push through the barriers

I'm done with this trance
With this dying illusion
I've been biding my time while this path
Has been chipping away my mind

No more delusions
Drag them to the fucking ground

I'm stepping into the fire of ambiguity
Sealing my fate
It's all I have to prove my worth
This masquerade has gone on for long enough
It's time to bring the end

Struck dead at the bottom
The only way is to call upon the best of me
We're growing sane
As we progress our dreams
Inventing ways to determine our destiny
