As I strive to see myself
Find the guts to be myself
Stop the machine that’s pushing me
Set the course to liberty

Pushing aside is the easy way
Staying awake is a fight each day
There’s a monster & it’s growing fast
I hope my train of thought will last

For it’s robbing my voice, stealing my dreams
Before I can shout it silenced my screams
Before I break out it tightens the strings
Before I can breath – you know what I mean

So I’m stayin awake – pushing ahead
Coming to life – raising the dead
Walking the path – finding the goal
Already there – keep playin my role

As I search to find myself
Cut the strings that bind myself
Hearing the truth inside of me
Set the course to liberty
