lyrics

Hold it together,
Its not just you at risk here,
In a world with six degrees of separation
We’re all at risk
This life is not our own,
We live for the will of a greater purpose,
If you think you’ll pull me away,
I’m so sick of this,
Keeping my thoughts and feelings quiet
I’m going to shout this,
So that the whole world will hear me
Suppression, is what they teach,
If you think that you’ll hold me back,
I won’t let you hold me down,
I’m going to shout this,
So that the world can hear
This life is not our own,
We live for the will of a greater purpose,
If you think you’ll pull me away,
I will shut you down
I will drown you out
I will shut you down
Your beliefs are rooted in the misguided notion that if we think for ourselves
we will be alright
I shout these words
But this voice isn’t mine
I’m serving a higher power
My purpose is clear
I cannot be stay silent longer
I cant keep my thoughts this way
