Lyrics

We think we know
We think we see
Don’t we understand
We don’t see anything
We get thrown around
By what we tell ourselves
And we’ll just keep on going
Waiting in our cells

We live in a world that we create
Never questioning our constant state
Never learning to appreciate
All the things that live and breathe around us

Our magic minds just fly
Days, months, and years go by
But that little spark inside
Is wondering why

We live in a world that never stops
Pushing us to be something we’re not
All the love we had we now forgot
We can’t even feel this world around us

Cause we’re slaves
But our mind’s made up that we
Understand ourselves
All the things that we believe
It’s really a cry for help

Cause we’re slaves
But our mind’s made up that we
Understand ourselves
All the things that we believe
It’s really a cry for help

It might just take too much
To change what we know
So scared of happiness
We’d rather stay depressed

Habits take control of everything
Down a path we don’t remember choosing
We look back it’s all just so confusing
Why did I ignore this world around me?
