Who you are
Reject Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't wanna believe the facts we have to devour
The only set goal - more and more
Too often felt lost - don't wanna go on
Won't close my eyes - I can't ignore
Won't shut up - I can't ignore
Won't be one of them - a holy sinner's whore

Are you out - are you out
Out of your mind




Won't be proud
Only felt ashamed
