about
This song addresses how many of us feel rejected by society and grow to hate society as we lock ourselves up away from the rest of the world. Eventually, we either overcome this and the people who oppress us, or we snap and become violent toward our peers.
lyrics
I can’t help but watch the days shorten
The breeze slowly turns to a cold chill
Leaves turn to snow, the nights get longer
As days go by, the feeling grows, consumes
The despair and longing rear their blinding faces
We all have been there, isolation feeds on our ever-freezing hearts
We grow despondent, cynical, standoffish
Bedrooms become tombs, the outside world feels like an ongoing nightmare
We feel invisible to those around us, unworthy of their presence
Trust becomes scarce, a stab in the back every time a connection is built and severed
We are lost in ourselves, a quicksand that no one else can see
We slowly drown in the choices we make, second-guessing ourselves
The invisible hand weighs us down, it teaches us to repress our instincts, we lose ourselves in the process
The casualties lost to this sociopathic cause remain televised as heroes, they lost their souls
We must not lose ours
We must retain self-respect and our true beliefs
