HAUNT ME
While She Sleeps Lyrics

We won't leave till you realise
We won't move on until you understand

These are the reasons why we won't survive on our own
These are the reasons why we can't make it alone

Nobody gets left behind
We don't leave anyone behind

One, two, three, four
Counting down to take action

Didn't see it coming
I was caught off guard

Now the world's in disarray
Now everything's a mess

And all that I have said comes back to haunt me
My past words and actions now haunt me

I didn't see the lights
I didn't see the warning signs

Even though they're blinding me right in the eyes
Even though they were obvious and right in front of me

Couldn't read the signs
I didn't understand what was happening

Telling me to swim against the current as they're pulling me under
Urging me to go against the norm as I am being dragged down

I'm intoxicated, led astray by the fake
I'm influenced by illusions, misled and not thinking critically

Unconscious to the right solution, our minds are barely moving
Not aware of the correct answer, our thinking is slow and ineffective

We might deserve a second chance
We may deserve another opportunity

If I can prove we're alive
If I can show that we are still alive and fighting

Who told you it's ours for the taking? Every man for himself
Who said that we are entitled to everything? Only individualism matters

In favour of all who trade intelligence, order for the selfish
Favoring those who use knowledge and power for their own benefit instead of the greater good

Who don't deserve a second chance
They don't deserve another opportunity

If they're still picking a side
If they're still choosing which team to be on

It's the dose that makes it poisonous
It's the amount that causes harm

It tastes bitter but we're keeping our head above the surface
It's unpleasant but we're managing to stay afloat

We're still alive although we've been bitten
We're still here despite being hurt before

It's like a sickness written into our anatomy
It's like an inherent flaw within us

This is the sound of no one listening to you running your mouth
This is what it feels like when nobody pays attention to your words

Are you thinking out loud or just can't see through the amount
Are you speaking your thoughts or are you just unaware of the situation

Of shit you feel the need to surround yourself with?
Of negativity that you choose to be around

You feel the need to surround yourself with
You choose to be around

Back up, I'm sick of telling you enough is enough
Stop, I'm tired of repeating myself

It takes my breath away
It's stunning or overwhelming

But I don't feel like I deserve the taste
But I don't feel worthy of it

You're missing the point, can't understand my pain
You're not comprehending the reasons behind my suffering

Some people never change, it's like a fire without a flame
Some people are stagnant or empty, like a fire that doesn't burn

Don't say you didn't see it coming
Don't act surprised

Don't say you couldn't see the warnings
Don't deny the signs were there

Or the wolves outside the gates
Or the danger lurking nearby

And all that I have said comes back to haunt me
My past words and actions now bring consequences
