A Thousand Ways

Fucked hope, what can I do?
I'm trying so hard to get through to you
But you don’t wanna hear a single word of truth
But every lie swore as true falls like music to your ears

How can we live our lives so unaware?
How can we love if we are so fucking scared?
And my only regret is that I’ll play the same dreadful tune

You sing the same song your parents
Sang about their unflinching devotion to everything
Everything sick and wrong with yesterday and today

They broke you down and stole everything
And you openly embraced that this life was not your very own
False hope is all they'll give to you, the best years is what they'll take from you
You were robbed how long will it be before you see?

All the skinned knees you should have felt
A thousand ways to break free but you won't
So keep carrying your father's cross

And living your mother's dreams
Never getting to express a voice you should have raised
You were never there for yourself
So now, I don't know whos to blame
