Abnegate Lyrics

Force-fed an idea
Of something that I’ve never seen
Are you a martyr?
The last thing I’d fucking be
Open your eyes and maybe then you will see
This is something inside of me
Can you feel your heart beating?
The one thing that keeps me living
I don’t believe in anything but me

I don’t need something that isn’t there for me
Don’t try to show me the way
I’ll walk alone
This is not what we wanted
Is this what you pray for?
If you were here then you would hear me scream
I don’t believe in anything but me
I live for myself
My disposition is a failed hope
If you were here then you would hear me
Something greater? Then start saving
Why do we have to see such suffering?
We’re all falling apart
We're all falling apart
We're all falling apart
A life for the hopeful and the hopeless
Where do you see yourself in history?
Are you waiting for some kind of savior?
The one thing that I won’t believe in

I’ve been counting these numbers
One, two
For every time I’ve had to sit here and wonder
How the fuck is this living?
I’ve been counting these numbers
One, two
For every time I’ve had to sit here and wonder
How the fuck is this living?

This is all smoke and mirrors
You’re all smoke and mirrors

I don’t need something that isn’t there for me
Don’t try to show me the way
I’ll walk alone
This is not what we wanted
Is this what you pray for?
