Lost in a Sea of Faces

We all push ourselves to keep going
we all strive to become better
even when we're under the weather

We push ourselves to the brink of insanity
hoping and praying we won't crack
we get caught up in the glory as loved ones try to save us
we start to drown in the need of more

more accomplishments
more money
and great value

we drown in a sea of greedy tears
we drown because its what we deserve
lost in a sea of faces
only a spec of dust in the rushing wind

why is what we ask ourselves
when really we know the answer
because we wanted more
to be a face not lost in billions upon billions of people

Faces we see every day
Faces of those running away
From problems, from fear
From those we hold dear

We run away never looking back
Looking back would make us crack
To run back home after all we've done
And cry with our real family
While staying in their living arms
