Feel

written by: OurSacredHonor

I refuse to live their way so I can one day live my own
I refuse to give in, but I'll let my opinions be known
If things are gonna be done, they're gonna be done my way
No more authority, I stop listening today
I'll push forward with ears deaf words and eyes blind to the sights
That I've seen and I've dream in the middle of the nights
That were so uncomfortable, so restless
It's my turn to test this
Tell me I'll regret this
And then tell me what your bet is
Cuz this game is high stakes
I'll do whatever it takes
My terms, my conditions
I just can't take this attrition
It's been eating away at me
But when I open my eyes I see
That this isn't a game
And it's a real shame
That it claims
So many lives
And we take so many dives
To the depths of our soul
To discover why we're not whole
Why we lose control
Why we risk our lives on every roll
Of the dice
Will this ever suffice?
Will my needs be satisfied
Are all those nights I cried
Meaningless
So full of emptiness
That ten years from now they'll mean nothing?
As for me, I'll remember, they'll always mean something
Cuz nothing is meaningless as long as you feel
In this twisted reality emotion's all that's real
