lyrics

Well I can’t help but feel useless and going nowhere
But I can’t seem to hold on to anything I deem as real
Whether or not I’m alive, is based solely on your grasp
But if we are in the land of the free, then why is there no way out?

Well I hope that one day soon, I will die and leave this wretched place behind

So it’s oblivious that we’re moving backwards to another dark age
And the only thing bring us there, is money, greed and rage
When freethinking is finally in style, their only choice is to stem the flow
Too keep society alive, they’ll shove us into an evolutionary hole.

And I hope that one day soon I will die and leave this wretched place behind

Could I get off the floor and break through the bonds of these
Dominant restraints of the physical
It's getting dark as I let myself drain
But I know,
There’s a warmth and a dim light waiting for me

In a moments time I’ll be awake and aware
So long as I can continue to bare it
When the world starts to fade away
I can’t regret what I’ve done
Can I survive when I let everything die?
When I'm left with my thoughts will it change for the better?
Will I leave this wretched place behind?

Don’t you know you can’t sell your soul? So hold on tight we’ll leave this wretched place behind.
