I Refuse

My mask is slowly fading

I'm quietly coming into my own

Time can be can be so draining

Like a cut that won't heal and

Goes straight to the bone

I refuse to stand by

I refuse to close my eyes

I refuse to stand by

I refuse to close my eyes

Just because we're breathing

Doesn't mean we're alive

The beat goes on long after we're gone

What will they say after you die

Moving along slowly moving along

I'm moving towards nothing

Screaming out

Screaming so loud

I'm screaming for nothing

Everything I want to say buried

Deep inside of me

Everything that I say came

Back to me the wrong way

It's hard but I still have to try

To leave something behind

I refuse to stand by

I refuse to close my eyes

I refuse

I refuse

I refuse

I need to be moving towards something

I need to be screaming for something

I need to be more understanding

I need to do more than standing

I can't I can't let life pass me by

I can't I can't let life pass me by
