Can you explain to me why
You close your eyes
When you see the light
Silencing your thoughts
Stepping back in line
Giving up at the start
I lead a path that they have made for me
It's where I'm safe why should I stray away
I am not blind I choose not to see
Turning my back is how I survive here
They told me it's best
"It's how you live free"
The burden of the world is not mine to carry
Not mine to carry
Spitting lies won't change the facts
See beyond and start to fight
I am aching to see for myself
But I am struggling to breathe
You've seen the signs
If you deny
You're full of lies
They've shown themselves
So many times
More than you can hide
I lead a path that they have made for me
It's where I'm safe why should I stray away
I am not blind I choose not to see
Turning my back is how I survive here
They told me it's best
"It's how you live free"
The burden of the world is not mine to carry
All these thoughts are killing me
I'm not ready to let go
I heard your call before
Your voice is hard to ignore
You've seen the signs
If you deny, you're full of lies
They've shown themselves
So many times
More than you can hide
You're giving up at the start
