Blacklisted

My mask is slowly fading
I'm quietly coming into my own
Time can be can be so draining
Like a cut that won't heal and goes straight to the bone
I refuse to stand by
I refuse to close my eyes
Just because we're breathing doesn't mean we're alive
The beat goes on long after we're gone
What will they say after you die
Moving along slowly moving along
I'm moving towards nothing
Screaming out
Screaming so loud
I'm screaming for nothing
Everything I want to say buried deep inside of me
Everything that I say came back to me the wrong way
It's hard but I still have to try to leave something behind
I refuse to stand by
I refuse to close my eyes
I refuse
I need to be moving towards something
I need to be screaming for something
I need to be more understanding
I need to do more than standing
I can't, I can't let life pass me by
