Compliant

people show their contentment
pretending to know how it's found
just keep dumbing your mind
until your anxiety disappears
being used now has not mada you become
someone useful
I will not look the other way
I will not disguise my eyes from this
because you are in charge of it
how dare you to disclaim this
you're acting so compliant
always trying to fit in every place
you've given up on your morals
to quite your longing for affiliation
shielding out every question
just leave and follow the pack
until you become the prey
a credolous sacrifice
to your community
nothing but prey
because you are in charge of it
how dare you to disclaim this
you're acting so compliant
always trying to fit in every place
because you are responsible
nothing but compliant
nothing but prey

the violation of sleep
is no longer a pleasure
but an increasing pain
as I find rest in absence
myself stays numb, restrained
inner dissolution
all fear lurks for it's strike
an acute interference
a shackle from inside
whimpling for a helping hand
by matters of dusguise
I'm hypnotised, i'm trapped
inside my shell of lies
cause i'm not able to rest
I am not able to run from my fears
as they're always one step ahead
every mistake keeps the past alive
that I just tried to escape from
but the pressure i put on myself
pushes me down to the ground
its like every failure that i've ever made
are the only things i must never forget
the only things i must never forget
tell me that you felt the same
tell me everything has turned out well
cause I'm not able to rest
I am not able to run from my fears
as they're always one step ahead

men with pale faces
sneak their way through the cold
united in silence, divided by choice
secretly wishing they don't make it home
this time
they keep approaching life
like ascending the scaffold
I wonder if I will,
I wonder how they have become
like this
now growing up seems like a threat to me
but i refuse to trade my dreams
I can see it in their eyes,
that life has taken it's toll
and I can hear it in their talk,
that they paid it with hope
like blind, like deaf
like lost at sea
why would you stand there watch them drown
like blind, like deaf
like lost at sea
get rid of every anchor
that keeps you in this place
or did you ever ask to stay
your bones were never made of stone
it was yourself who pulled you under the sea
I'm just trying to stick to the promises
that I once made
to always try to be victorious,
to keep to myself
let's define ourselves through positivity
let's define ourselves through hope
get rid of every anchor
that keeps you in this place
or did you ever ask to stay
your bones were never made of stone
it was yourself who pulled you under the sea
why would you stand there watch them drown,
watch me drown

are you fucking serious
is this how you suppose to face the issues
in this world
the huge amount of ignorance I see everyday
you call a prove that you care
you are liars who pretend to be concerned
you are cowards
you got to be kidding me
look at what you preach
hiding behind your screens
while you act like on top of humanity
your'e not on top of humanity
ill-conceive
is this what you call justice
threatening the ones
with their backs against a wall
relentlessly
you keep passing your sentences
without ever being asked
its not like I ever cared
about your empty words
but I'm afraid this stupidity is getting out of hand
so let's show them what we stand for
you keep creating mob justice
while instigating a community
that rather sits
but tell me what would you do
if you had to stand right in front of your
easy- found targets
ill-conceive
is this what you call justice
threatening the ones
with their backs against a wall
relentlessly
you keep passing your sentences
without ever being asked
I'd ask you to think twice
if I was shure you even thought once
fuck you
