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
