No Longer

Drifting gently with the tide
Through an ocean gone dry

Voice of a siren makes me weak
It’s lulling me to sleep
And fabricating dreams
Void of all meaning

Now that I must decide between
What’s right in front of me
And what I truly need
The answer’s easy

I can no longer hide
From the words falling on my deaf ears
I’m drowning in my dreams
Caught up in all my lies
Deep down I know that I don’t
Belong here
It takes its toll on me

No longer chasing
I’ve been so empty inside
How many hearts need to break
Before mine dies?

And every moment’s just
Another vapid means to an end
Why have I chosen to deceive myself
Again and again? Is this who I am?

I’m trapped within a power struggle Between comfort and truth
Bearing the weight until I crumble
But I refuse
To be consumed

I can no longer hide
From the words falling on my deaf ears
I’m drowning in my dreams
Caught up in all my lies
Deep down I know that I don’t
Belong here
It takes its toll on me

Secrets that I’ve kept
Clouding my intent
Fooled myself again
Lost all of my friends

I can no longer hide
From the words falling on my deaf ears
I’m drowning in my dreams
Caught up in all my lies
Deep down I know that I don’t
Belong here
It takes its toll on me
