  • Messed up once again, told me it's okay
    But this path that I'm taking
    I'm lost in the deep end

    One last chance, never more, told me it's alright
    In this sea of denial
    I'm cleansed in the fire

    So why is it me?
    Am I blinded or too blind to see?

    Why was I born
    Not a part of this society?
    Again and again,

    I tried so hard to reach for the stars but I failed you all
    Tried to keep standing tall
    Never had a real chance at all
    But still I'm searching

    Same thing, different day, try to make a change
    Left with nothing more to live for
    But everything to die for

    Humanity, insanity, the everlasting grip
    Lost all will to keep trying
    Our beds we must lie in

    So why was I born
    Not a part of this society?
    Again and again,

    I tried so hard to reach for the stars but I failed you all
    Tried to keep standing tall
    Never had a real chance at all
    But still I'm searching...

    For ten thousand ways to say sorry
    But life writes it's own tragic story
    Time marches onwards and nothing can ever be the same

    But we'll pray for a brighter tomorrow
    Break free from this lifetime of sorrow
    Years pass us by but we're all just a part of the game

    I tried so hard to reach for the stars but I failed you all
    Tried to keep standing tall
    Never had a real chance at all
    But still I'm searching

    I tried so hard to reach for the stars but I failed you all
    Tried to keep standing tall
    Never had a real chance at all
    But still I'm searching...

    For ten thousand ways to say sorry
    But life writes it's own tragic story
    Time marches onwards and nothing can ever be the same

    But we'll pray for a brighter tomorrow
    Break free from this lifetime of sorrow
    Years pass us by but we're all just a part of the game Writer/s: FREDERIC LECLERCQ, HERMAN LI, MARC HUDSON, SAM TOTMAN, VADIM PRUZHANOV
