Can't You See? - Full Version

I must be first, and win it all
Keep climbing high, ignore the fall
I must be first, they all told me
"To be someone, you've got to be"
Ever since I was a kid, I knew
Life is just a maze we're getting through
Like a phoenix, through fire, we're born anew
It's the pain of knowing
Dreams don't always come true
Even if you're working hard for them
It's the pain of growing
Breaking out of the place of innocence
That protected you
Nah, you don't own me
You don't know me
Nah, come and show me
How you're above me
The system that made us, it grades us
Degrading the fading self-respect that we still have
I don't want new gods, I don't need faith
Searching for myself, finding my way
I'll just trust myself, all the work behind closed doors
Was it worth nothing?
Nah, it made me something more
Made me something more, made me something more
Swimming in the sea but now I can see the shore
Can't you see
All I've done is try to live the life inside me?
I'm just a product of the system
Yet another misfit
Hoping that someone will find me
How many brothers and sisters
Out there are just stray kids
Hoping for someone to guide them
Can't you see?
Oh can't you see me now?
Entre o que dizem e o que fazem há uma discrepância
E na raíz de todo o ato está a ignorância
Ignora quem é ignóbil
Na vida aquele que sobe
É sempre propulsionado pela sua própria ganância
Ânsia que segue os meus passos
Na infância moldou-me os traços
Fez-me quebrar laços
Fez-me cego para a sua importância
Yeah, yeah, but now I know
I just can't control everything that I see
So if I don't have to be perfect
I can take a breath
Change focus to just being me
I see the vultures around me
Circling the red sky
Just waiting for me to fall
But now that I've made it this far
It's just another scar
For me to display on the wall, yeah
Can't you see
All I've done is try to live the life inside me?
I'm just a product of the system
Yet another misfit
Hoping that someone will find me
How many brothers and sisters
Out there are just stray kids
Hoping for someone to guide them
Can't you see?
Oh can't you see me now?
I must be first, and win it all
Keep climbing high, ignore the fall
I must be first, they all told me
"To be someone, you've got to be"
I must be first, and win it all
Keep climbing high, ignore the fall
I must be first, they all told me
"To be someone, you've got to be"
Corri pela estrada da vida
Se a berma chamava por mim
Não lhe dei atenção
Sabia quem via dizia que eu cairia um dia
E hoje onde estão?
E só duas coisas me deu o destino
Uma mente explosiva
Sempre em expansão
E o dom de escrever estes versos
Poesia, universos que vêm da imaginação
Imagina o som, eu sei que assusta o meu génio
O meu núcleo é forte, hidrogénio
Barras elementares, a sério
Não sei onde vou
Não sei quando vou
Não sei como vou
Mas não vou por aí
