Beyond the Past

I've seen how far we've gone and its breaking me I've held on to this stone and it's taking me down Untroubled childhood bliss, turns to pain and suffering It's just a way of preparing you For the cold realities of everyday strife It's just way of ingraining you With this grand subservient way of life Now there's a void in my heart, but I could not go beyond And the way I used to be seems so far away It's just way of ingraining you with this self-unsustaining of life There's no escaping our fate The course remains the same It's just a way to bring you under their control And tell you that it's for your own good It's just a way it was in a time of life When you were the one who will never be understood I won't sign my life away I won't sign my life away Now there's a void in my heart, but I could not go beyond And the way I used to be seems so far away It's just way of ingraining you with this self-unsustaining of life There's no escaping our fate The course remains the same When there was nothing but time for our lives to begin There was never need for us to pretend When there was nothing beyond the confines of our skin And all that followed will die in the end There was nothing but time in our hands for our lives to begin We always were ourselves, there was no need for us to pretend There was no need for reaching beyond the confines of our skin What's left is memories and the rest will die in the end Can you feel in your heart It's calling you from inside and telling you not to be afraid Can you feel when your heart is waking up the truth and telling "There's still hope for a change"
