New Age - Pessimistic

Hoping for everything to change
You're wide awake but you're barely breathing
I never thought I would become a slave
To all the hatred that burns inside me

You hope for everything to change
You're wide awake, barely breathing
I never thought I would become a slave x2
For all that I am

You'd take it, you'd take everything that I ever loved
Liars, you made me the man that I am today
A sharpened spear with the trust of a thief and it's got me nowhere
They claim salvation in a false horizon and I'm not giving in

To the monster waiting
For a chance to turn all of your hope into shame
I've been contemplating how they won't forget me

I'm tired of feeling hopeless and I'm tired of being used
What do I have to give to you
Your eyes cut like knives and I knew you had it out for me
You had it out for me

I'm tired of feeling hopeless and I'm tired of being used
I have nothing to give to you
Your eyes cut like knives and I knew you had it out for me
You had it out for me from the start

Will you ever quit
Will you ever stop this shit
I can't take it
No, you'll never catch me this way again
White flag raised ship sinking
You'll never catch me this way again
I'll fight till' the end x4
So raise your hands if you're ready to take a stand

I feel lost, we feel lost sometimes
So we yell, we yell for help but no one's there
So we run till' we're dead cause' we meet villains instead of friends

I'm tired of feeling
Useless I got a shoe it fits and I'm made for this
Why shouldn't I wear it
I'm tired of being used
I got a lot to give and I'd die for it cause' I lie to live
I'm so tired
I say I'm a man but would I take a stand if I had the chance
I'm so tired
I say I'm a man would I take a stand, would I take a stand

I'm tired of feeling
Pessimistic x2
Would you take everything away
