Hunted by mindless beasts
Haunted by my desire
To create and destroy
To defy with a smile
Every day is stick and move
Either way they're after you
Mediocre their soulless lives
They live for nothing
They have no pride
They're always after me
Pleading eyes and vacant arms
They're always draining me
Needy souls, empty hearts
Can't pull the wool over my eyes
I can still see
I'm so tired, but I won't stop moving
Fearful, my humanity is running away
I'm not foolish, I won't stop dreaming
I know that I can be better than I am today
The pressure builds and I'm starting to break
I'm so tired, but I won't stop moving
Fearful, my humanity is running away
Away, far from here
From all the cowards and fear
Far away, far from here
From all the cowards and fear
To push beyond one's self
To live in the unknown
To push beyond one's self
To live in the unknown
Can't pull the wool over my eyes
I can still see
Can't pull the wool over my eyes
You can't blind me
I'm so tired, but I won't stop moving
Fearful, my humanity is running away
I'm not foolish, I won't stop dreaming
I know that I can be better than I am today
The pressure builds and I'm starting to break
I'm so tired, but I won't stop moving
Fearful, my humanity is running away
Go!
If you've never been tested, then you'll never see
What lives inside of you is worth more than anything
If you've never been tested, then you'll never see
What lives inside of you is worth more than anything
And at that moment, when I doubt myself
I pick up my feet up
And I hit the ground
I'm so tired, but I won't stop moving
Fearful, my humanity is running away
I'm not foolish, I won't stop dreaming
I know that I can be better than I am today
The pressure builds and I'm starting to break
I'm so tired, but I won't stop moving
Fearful, my humanity is running away
Away
Running away
