Committee Of Thirteen

This is the story of life
This is the story of you
This is a story that needs changing
Burdened by your parents past ideas and their behaviors
You eventually grew to inherit the worst of them
Though you declared that
I'll never be like them
I'll never be like that
Look closer it's all over you
Defeated everyday
It's a sickness you must face
If you perpetuate hate
There's no good, no gain
Break down the walls you have built
This is what you ignore
This you should embrace
This stubborn truth can't be challenged
The sickness you displayed sheds a bright white light
on your parents meddling
Never given a chance to develop yourself
Torn between who you are and who you could be
Never be like them
Never be like that
Look closer the truth's inside you
There is a difference between
Who you are and what they see
The simple truth is
It's hard to be free
Learn from their past
The mistakes that they've made
They may be waiting for change
Yet change is what you make
Learn from their past
The mistakes that they've made
They may be waiting for change
Yet change is what you make
Break down
Break down the walls you have built
