Soul Scarred Captives

It isn't easy to dream without failing
A purpose set out to defeat
(Though) we stand no chance against the opposing sides

A hoax lightly taken weighing heavy with time running out, we stand...
We'll stand rooted shielded with pride

Yet we are easily swayed by each changing contradiction !
What is to be real ? Where is the true sight ?

All that contains substance deflates once revealed
There lies bleakness within this concept
Regardless of what they feed into your shallow mind

The consequences untold
The unspoken construed our minds into confusion
And all this time we rely on our given instinct
Tattered, abused and forgotten once we tried !

As bait, alive, imprisoned children... Unwanted minds !
We were desired and wasted
Leaving us captivated with all the ambition against this empty flow

Unbroken the cycle remains leading us to the washed away...
We are soul scarred captives in time...
We are soul scarred captives in time...
One-sided penance that has altered our will to defeat the empowered

As bait, alive, imprisoned children... Unwanted minds !
We were desired and wasted
Leaving us captivated with all the ambition against this empty flow

Unbroken the cycle remains leading us to the washed away...
It must be broken... They must be punished... We must regain control
