lyrics

waking up you feel lost with your upbringing
and it's weighing you down cause you can't account for everything
so you close your eyes and hold your breath
for it won't be long
and you jump into the pond
to find it all leads home

and you can't help but follow protocol
when facing the things you've nailed to the wall

but if you turn your back on everything
in the end, it's just you

making way for clear thought of the obstacle
on a road sans map, well, you loose track of the path you're on
so you hold your breath and reach out for all you hold dear in this world
but connection seems to fade away
'cause the drama keeps you here

and i can not wait to find the truth about you
