Beyond the Past

I've seen how far we've gone and it's breaking me
I've held on to this stone and it's taking me down

Untroubled childhood bliss turns to pain and suffering
It's just a way of preparing you for the cold realities of everyday strife
it's just a way of ingraining you with this grand subservient way of life

Now there's a void in my heart, but I could not go beyond
And the way I used to be seems so far away
It's just way of ingraining you with this self-unsustaining of life
There's no escaping our fate
The course remains the same

It's just a way to bring you under their control and tell you that it's for your own good
It's just a way it was in a time of life when you were the one who will never be understood

I won't sign my life away

Now there's a void in my heart, but I could not go beyond
And the way I used to be seems so far away
It's just way of ingraining you with this self-unsustaining of life
There's no escaping our fate
The course remains the same

When there was nothing but time for our lives to begin
There was never a need for us to pretend

When there was nothing beyond the confines of our skin
And all that followed will die in the end

There was nothing but time in our hands for our lives to begin
We always were ourselves, there was no need for us to pretend
There was no need for reaching beyond the confines of our skin
What's left is memories and the rest will die in the end

Can you feel in your heart
It's calling you from inside and telling you not to be afraid
Can you feel when your heart
Is waking up the truth and telling
There's still hope for a change
