Ourselves (song lyrics)

We live meager, half-hearted lives
Believing there’s not much more
We tell ourselves this is all
We can’t see beyond this painted picture

We struggle and scream
We throw our dreams in to the fire
Crying as they burn away
Silently dying in the flames
Ashes become our memories

We were told we couldn't
Believing we can’t we don’t
We tell ourselves this is all
This painted picture keeps us blind

We don’t fight for our hearts longings
Believing we are selfish persons
We tell ourselves this is all
We painted this picture we see

We no longer understand
We allowed ourselves to believe
Lies became our despised truths
We painted this picture we see
Blinding ourselves to reality
We say we can’t so we don’t

We struggle and scream
We throw our dreams in to the fire
Crying as they burn away
Silently dying in the flames
Ashes become our memories

Never realizing there’s so much more…
