The Current Will Carry Us

All of our lives we’ve been told what to believe “Nothing is perfect” so what’s the point of purpose? The line that separates the weak from us who truly care Is one I don’t intend to cross The heart of man beats but only in greedy hands And it seems that most are still content Where most are comfortable accepting insignificance We strive to find the effort within You open up your eyes, and open up your mind You will be exposed, to a world as cold As those who are left to populate it Two decades spent swallowing lie, after lie Has sparked a fire in my heart And the time has come to spread the flame We can’t continue wasting time Day after day trying to find a new means of escape We can’t continue wasting time Day after day I do it day after day I do it day after fucking day And I can’t face the disconnect I’ll shed the dead weight and rise And I can’t face the disconnect I’ll shed the dead weight and rise I never thought, that I would need to justify a reason To continue on in this life I lead I fucking hate the world I fucking hate myself I swore I'd never fucking feel like this And I hate the world And I hate myself I hate the world

Every fucking day I have to deal with the pressure I put on myself, to outdo myself But I can’t ask for help I can’t admit I’m weak I’m going back on my words, I’m going back on who I used to be Every day I wage a war on myself because I’d rather die than let this win over me I can’t let this win over me How can I be expected to help anyone else When I can’t even help myself? Call me a hypocrite and I’ll be the first one to agree I am no longer the prophet that I once claimed to be I’m stuck between trying to find where I stand, and what it is I stand for I am no one

I will graciously accept that my life’s work, whether it be in the past, the present, or the future It will be overshadowed by those around me With a different definition of “success” Though I can’t explain the path I’ve chosen All I know is I’m right where I need to be And though I’ve turned down a chance at fame and fortune I know that there is no greater payment than this And I’m so fucking far from the life I’m supposed to lead, and the man I’m supposed to be and I couldn’t be happier And I will remain a constant, I know where I stand, and I refuse to let their selfishness take control of who I am Take control of who I am Take control of who I am And while I may die poor, at least my life had meaning There’s more to life than living, and I truly feel alive And I know that when I die There will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place This is our song of protest I promise you that nothing is slowing us down I promise you That nothing is slowing us down And while I may die poor, at least my life had meaning There’s more to life than living and I truly feel alive And I know that when I die There will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place And I will laugh in the face of those who tell me different And I will laugh in the face of those who tell me different Even with both of my feet planted firmly on the ground I am free to move in my own direction I will remain a constant I know where I stand I know where I stand I know where I stand I know where I stand I know where I stand

Why do I need to justify my opinion, after all that I’ve seen and done? And year after year, we give our everything to get nothing in return The time has come for things to change We don’t need your adoration, but we demand your respect I won't allow anyone the opportunity to deny half a decade of labor The places we’ve been, the faces we’ve seen, the months spent far from home This is what moves us This is what we’ve grown accustomed to What we will leave behind can not be measured in a dollar figure There’s a much deeper meaning than that I can’t wait until the day when we’ve surpassed everything that gave you a false sense of importance I want you to question yourself I want you to question yourself I want you to watch you slip away I want you to realize that your existence has meant nothing I hate you more than you could ever know And I hate you for making me feel like this I know deep down that I am a good person, but my patience is wearing thin The best retaliation I can think of, would be to let you know that for once in my life, I am truly happy I’m more than content with who and where I am Your oppression has had no effect I don’t need to justify my opinion after all that we’ve been through And year after year, what we get in return, I can’t explain with words I’m so fucking thankful that I made it to where I am today (I watched the world upon your shoulders, and from these heights it’s so far down)

I never asked for anyone to listen And I never asked for anyone to take my words to heart I’ve let myself become a target based on nothing more than expression I will not lie to others, and I won’t lie to myself If you’re searching for safety you can find it somewhere else And I won’t mind I’ve never seen myself as optimistic So this should come as no surprise No one feels good forever Not even me But this doesn’t give us an excuse to become useless like the rest We will turn our hatred into something to be proud of We will make life worth living

As time passes by, I feel everything changing but me I will not feel the sting of defeat I’ve watched days become months, become years And I’ve lost all faith in progression I will never allow myself to exchange all my morals for acceptance If this is truly where I belong, I’ll fucking be here until the end of time I’ve watched everyone around me jump ship And I hope they’re left to sink The current will carry us I am proud of all that I’ve become And I’m well aware that I have steered myself in the right direction Your life is yours to decide I just can’t respect your decision I would rather isolate myself than be a walking definition of travesty I watched you do away with everything I would love nothing more than to watch this world swallow you whole You were the catalyst for your downfall But where the rest have failed, we are bound to succeed And mark my fucking words, as long as we are breathing We will overcome We will overcome The integrity we emanate day to day is unparalleled And our efforts will not go unnoticed We will be remembered We will be remembered We will be remembered We will be remembered We will be remembered We will be remembered

I’m looking back on those I once looked up to And I can’t help but feel that I’m looking down Everyone I’ve ever admired has left me with nothing Not even a memory I remember growing up, and yearning to be just like you It pains me to admit that I held you in such a high regard As if my life would mean nothing without your approval But now I see the error of my ways All that time spent searching for myself in someone else I think it’s safe to say that I’ve become everything I wanted to be And no one can take that from me All of my heroes have failed me, but I won’t fail myself I can’t believe how naive I used to be when I never really needed anyone All my heroes have failed me, but I won’t ever fail myself All my heroes have failed me, but I won’t ever fail myself All my heroes have failed me All my heroes have failed me

I want to thank you for never being there Your absence has forced me to find my own way While others are led through life with a blindfold, I can see clearly the rain will wash me away I reject the thought of a god When all we see is the work of an ill-fated world I reject a liar’s cross Who am I to say what I believe is right for the masses? I just know it’s right for me For this I have secured my place in hell But every day I face is my own heaven in the making What do you believe in? What do you think is right? Centuries have passed, the voice of reason is still being suppressed Salvation dances in front of their faces But they’re too blind to see I reject the thought of a god When all we see is the work of an ill-fated world I reject a liar’s cross Thank God for never being there Thank God for never being there Thank God for never being there Thank God for never being there

Though I look forward to my future, just know I’m scared to death After all is said and done, I won’t have a clue what to do next Will I struggle to find the answer? Will I take an easy way out? Or will I find the strength inside to carry on? My greatest fear is amounting to nothing I hate the fact that I feel no sense of security But more importantly, I hate the fact that I can’t confide in myself It feels like nothing good will stay, unless I stay the same I need to find a way to dissolve the uncertainty This is who I am, and this is who I’ll always be I refuse to be afraid of something I don’t know to be true Something I don’t know to be true I need to pick myself back up I need to find a way to keep all the worry from head Before it sends me to an early grave I refuse I refuse to let fear define me I refuse I refuse to let fear define me I refuse I refuse to let fear define me I refuse to let fear define me I refuse to let fear define me I refuse I refuse

This is the only thing I have worth holding onto I have condensed my past to fit the lines on the pages That no one will ever see But still I fight, day after day ‘Cause this is all I’ve ever wanted my life to be and I push everything I’ve ever loved away to keep myself from sinking To keep myself from sinking To keep myself from sinking If I find the bad in everything, I can never be attached I’m trying to find a balance I'm trying to find a way And every choice I’ve ever made Brings me anywhere but home But I’ve welcomed sacrifice with open arms And I will never regret my decision This is the only thing that makes me feel alive Makes me feel alive I’ve simply been searching for the right place to rest my head I’m searching for common ground between all that I am And all that you need me to be I’ve seen a future and want nothing to do with it A constant campaign to impress those who never ever cared I’m struggling but I won’t allow myself to sink You know where to find me I keep my composure and assume my place In front of the people I love most You’re the reason why we’re here I’m struggling But I won’t allow myself to sink I’m struggling But I won’t allow myself to sink

I’ve never told this to anyone I’m just trying to move past But lately it seems that my insecurities got the best of me And I’m no longer in control No one should ever have to feel like this To feel like me And even though the good I have outweighs the bad The bad's what’s leaving me with sleepless nights I spend most of my time arguing with my own reflection For no apparent reason And it may seem as if I have all the answers But I’m just as lost as you I’ve spend the past few years trying to overcome my own misery, but these sort of things take time, and I’m running out of mine I'm running out of mine So I will pray to a God that isn’t there To a world that doesn’t hear To anyone who will listen To keep me from becoming everything I promised myself that I would never be I do not deserve this
