I spent my heart
Waiting on the world to show me
The kind of affection I deserve
False hopes end nowhere
So much suffering to aid a world in their beliefs
We live in ashes, but we're still burning underneath
And now it's time to stand up for what we believe in
Do you believe in something more than this
They hold our strings, we're powerless to stop them
Unless we show them what we know is good empowering
We're left to function as if we are machines
And when it's said and over
You know that we have suffered through
A dead state of hope
My life lessons always had my back
