lyrics

All that I am
Always in front of me.
And I do all I can
So I won't see.

I'm buried under books,
But what do I know?
I'm still waiting to arrive,
While the years fade.
There's a weight on the pedal
As if I can drive.

Will it ever be enough?
Endlessly I'm catching up.
When it ends I'll know
I had a chance to see,
But instead I tried to change me.

Weakness is just another word for being alive.
Weakness is just another word for being alive.
Weakness is just another word for being alive.
Weakness is just another word for being alive.

I'm working too hard
Trying to catch those eyes
Because I feel a duty
To live up to my life.

But sanity falls to the wayside,
Call it a "fool's gold suicide."
Still the years fade
With a weight on the pedal.
Help I'm terrified.

My self-esteem is shit.
I can't get over it.
I look around at people
Until I can't breathe.

Without my pain I'd be an alien.
Without confusion I'd be a God.
Without my war, what am I moving for?
And I may scream at the unseen forces in me,
But I take comfort in that we all scream together.

Weakness is just another word for being alive.
I can tell you know what I mean by the look in your eye.
Weakness is just another word for being alive.
I can tell you know what I mean by the look in your eye.
