Content Behind Walls

Become the clone you were meant to be Give yourself away without a single plea How the hell could you know who you are While your ignorant looking to the stars Look to the ones in charge Because there is no way you can know Who you are Do you even wonder What’s behind these walls Are you so content With feeling so small They say to live your dreams But why do I feel So stuck Within these seams I am so sick of everyone Buying into every lie I’m so sick of everyone Just living till they die Why can’t anyone see This isn’t what we’re made to be Media defines what’s in and out People follow without a doubt Do you even wonder What’s behind these walls Are you so content With feeling so small They say to live your dreams But why do I feel So stuck Within these seams Giving yourself away like the rest Cause you know you’ll never be the best Following every single crowd Never thinking out loud Giving into these bullsh** lies While inside your soul cries Blaming everything on ourselves Never to question anyone else Too fat, too small, too religious, too different So we all just stay ignorant Fitting in this corrupted system But what if we’re the victims Do you even wonder What’s behind these walls Are you so content With feeling so small They say to live your dreams But why do I feel So stuck Within these seams I refuse to believe I can’t wear my heart on my sleeve I refuse to keep my thoughts inside Just to fit into every single lie Everyone who doesn’t fit in Is so hated from within I guess I will live life as a reject Cause I refuse to be politically correct I will live my faith out loud And rise above the crowd Do you even wonder What’s behind these walls Are you so content With feeling so small They say to live your dreams But why do I feel So stuck Within these seams Become the clone you were meant to be Give yourself away without a single plea How the hell could you know who you are While your ignorant looking to the stars Look to the ones in charge Because there is no way you can know Who you are
