lyrics

Observe the sun that keeps you living
Observe the hand that kindly feeds
Observe the trees that keep you breathing
And know what you've received
I was once a god before you
Amongst your kind I walked tall
Now you never come to me for anything at all
This is the pain you've given from a heart
that's driven by selfishness and pride
Eternally ungrateful
You'll one day realise
I was never born to follow
But I was never one to vent
I'll just quietly remember every word you've said
This will feed my motivation
I'm moving on to pastures green
I just need the room to function
I just need the space to breathe
I was your erstwhile vote, the great white hope
I was the apple of your eye
Now in 30 seconds your lifelong dream has died
I'm the fallen traitor in a fake container
but a real heart beats inside
I am walking wounded
My own peace I must find
