lyrics

Everyday seems inside out
I’d pray for better days
But wishes tend to flip upside down
I’m afraid of everything but no one can find out
I try for a silent mind
But ‘what if’s turn fiction into sound

Annihilated dreams of greatness
Age too young
Gave up cause a body’s too much
Hope drowned herself in tears of my blood
I fear possibility (what could be)
But there’s a flickering film inside of me
With imagery of better things
Finally, let that light flood

Gotta be brutally honest
It's like crushing concrete
Crushing concrete just to be
Brutally Honest
I hide from me
I hide from me

I've got nightmares all the time
Of past lives in black and white
Just music to stay alive
And continues to burn inside
Coveting melodies
To comfort me in these times of need
Cause the sounds can help us out
More than any dogma could keep us down

Gotta be brutally honest
It's like crushing concrete
Crushing concrete just to be
Brutally Honest
I hide from me (SPEAK UP)
I hide from me

Make a choice
Make some noise
