Not sure what I'm doing
Just going through the motions
Living the lie
With a big, wide smile
I'm watching those around me
Like sitcoms on tv
Perfect little lives
Detached from reality
And even if it weren't true
I'll stick to the judgement
I made way too soon
Because somehow
It makes me feel special
Or at least a bit normal
Worthwhile thermal
On a winter's day
These delicate wings want to fly
But these thoughts only drag me by
This caterpillar won't become a butterfly
Trapped in the cocoon
Only passing time by
A song without words
The melody sticking to
The same section of a CD
Damaged noise
White and loud in our ears
Shredding the wings
That weren't ready for the world
Do you hear this voice
Lost in the wind as it is
I'm not waiting for the world to be ready
I'm going to make it hear
Listen to the words
Until my point is clear
I'm right here
And I'm going nowhere
Too far gone to stop me
I'll be your worst nightmares
My greatest dreams
Aren't to have my name
On every lip
Or in every book
But on the rubble of
Your empire that I broke
This tower of hate
Is only destined to fall
I'm the crack in the foundation
Bet you didn't know
Disasters started this small
