What You Are

Every perception is what you perceive, all that you know you were taught to believe

Something is stirring and something is cracked, there is no hope as you limp your way back

Pushing and pulling you rip at the seams, working through problems set deep in your dreams

Searching for something that doesn't exist, you caused all this

Know this, just incase you don't notice

I've had a rough time so far

The symptoms are slowly growing, show yourself for what you are

Wishing and willing that it disappears, hoping and praying to conquer my fears

Searching for someone who someday will stay, wanting it so but still pushing away

Is there some way to be perfectly clear, what's in my face is all that I can hear

Longing for some form of life to exist, you caused all this

Now I can see you for what you are, my eyes have been awakened

Now I can see you for what you are, the things we have forsaken

Now I can see you for what you are, the promises are broken

Now I can see you for what you are, the lives that have been taken

What you are
