Be Born

I know you seem so content
In your little hole
Dug for someone else's remains
But the cold you feel inside your lungs
And these clouds that block the sun
Are your punishment for refusing to be one

I was in control before
And will be once more
When you succumb to the cold
The time you seek's already lent
And look how it was spent
Stuck there singing songs that someone's already told

But what if I told you, I am not the villain
What if I told you, you're the same as I?
Half a hollow person, ruled by his depression
Cloaked by noise in mind and heart
Who split his voice into two parts

I feel it growing more intense
This dissonance
Between what we are and what we want to be
Is it so goddamn hard to see
Through your sickened lens
That in the end, I am not your enemy?

And what if I told you, you are not the victim
And just this fucking once you actually heard?
You are not that special, and yet you run this vessel
So if you're sick, and if you're tired
Then soothe your heart with songs inspired, oh

Time will move forward
Onward without you
So climb or crawl forward
It's all that you can do, ohh

So what if I told you, no one here is listening?
What if I told you that it's for the best?
The clock that keeps on ticking isn't truly endless
These facts entwine to form a sign
To craft your voice in heart and mind
So make your choice and make it right
Will we be ours? Or will you die?
