It's hard for me too you know. Why can't we just agree? As soon as i can find the strength I'll show you and you'll see. Please understand, It's them and it's not me. Can't help but feel I'm still alone With no integrity. Is ignorance really bliss? If we've found ourselves in this? What a mess that we've created, With a system way outdated, But once your educated, You'll know it's time for the Belated Farewell. & still we find ourselves trusting, The lords and what they say. Our fates premeditated showing zero sympathy. Look out for one another, I know that we'll be fine. Don't take their lies straight to your heart, Your human and your right. Is ignorance really bliss? If we've found ourselves in this? What a mess that we've created, With a system way outdated, But once your educated, You'll know it's time for the Belated Farewell. Is ignorance really bliss? If we've found ourselves in this? What a mess that we've created, With a system way outdated, Is ignorance really bliss? If we've found ourselves in this? Constantly dominated, Our voices almost faded, But one your educated, You'll know it's time for the Belated Farewell.

I'm starting to notice, a changing of the guards, who make it hard to exist. Things come into focus, and suddenly I'm charged, an energy in my fist. Along the path you'll meet these people in they're troubled lives, and all they wanna do is laugh at you and criticise. They'll wanna take your dreams and drag them through the mud, Just pick them up, and wash them off, cos, The worker bees in their worker lives, Will cut you down which is no surprise, Cos they once had dreams, to leave their hives, But it killed their buzz. Now if your like me, escaped the hive, or if you still want out, then join the line. A cause that needs its rebels to arise, To kill our queens that force us to take sides. GO! Now I can see clearly, the mist has cleared away, a light went on in my head. These other people grow weary, they're still living day to day, don't wanna get out of bed. When will these simple folk realise that this is not the way. Their fear is sucking out their soul i think it's safe to say. It's better to leave these people be, they don't expect you too survive. Don't prove them right., cos The worker bees in their worker lives, Will cut you down which is no surprise, Cos they once had dreams, to leave their hives, But it killed their buzz! Now if your like me, escaped the hive, or if you still want out, then join the line. A cause that needs its rebels to arise, To kill our queens that force us to take sides. Aren't you sick of all the fighting? Aren't you sick of all the war? Thinking it doesn't affect you, until it's at your door. All i hear is 'what can i do?' 'There's no point trying anyway!' Well i say put your woes aside and let us rise to what we're meant to be! What we're meant to be (x3) The worker bees in their worker lives, Will cut you down which is no surprise, Cos they once had dreams, to leave their hives, But it killed their buzz! Now if your like me, escaped the hive, or if you still want out, then join the line. A cause that needs its rebels to arise, To kill our queens that force us to take sides.

I hate this person that im becoming, But i feel like I'm so free, but this feeling, this disposition, it eats away at me. Am i lost, am i found, will we be okay tonight? But then as soon as the lights off, Instinct kicks in you feel so soft, Reliving empty moments of ecstacy, Reliving empty moments of ecstacy, I know, they know, I know your scared, but don't be silly, cos its not nearly that bad, It could be worse, yes at least you know that much, just stay and converse I'll explain why i can't touch, this voice in my head is explaining away that its me, and me alone. But then as soon as the lights off, Instinct kicks in you feel so soft, Reliving empty moments of ecstacy, Reliving empty moments of ecstacy, But girl you know i can't see you, this wall is blocking the view so, please don't try to break that sucker down, just let me be. just let me be. I know, they know, I know your scared, but don't be silly, cos its not nearly that bad. I know, they know, I know your scared, but don't be silly, cos its not nearly that bad.

I guess the show must go on. I'll leave here without you, and you can leave your heart with him for all I care, My heart is conflicted, thats why I'm waiting here for you, So when you finally pull that anchor in, I'll wrap it around my hand, One year, two years, three years at the most. How long will it take you, to lose sight of him, your better than this. I know you better than you know yourself, you need help, I can fix you, I can fix you, I can fix you. I know this must be difficult for you, It's difficult for me too, We think there'll be happy endings, at least I do. The closer and closer i get, the more I'm pushed away, but one day i will get you, If I don't I'll be okay. One year, two years, three years at the most. How long will it take you, to lose sight of him, your better than this. I know you better than you know yourself, you need help, I can fix you, I can fix you, I can fix you. So i'll take these bitter years and turn them into songs for us, to look back on and remember, all the times and all the pain, and all the tears that we have lost along the way.

You mock and scorn us, but your just jealous, so we can take it. Cos we will find our way. And you just sit there, in your life of, self pity and envy. Cos we live for today. If your a person who has a problem, and nothing good to say, about our world then please shut up, you haven't made the grade. I must insist that you resist, the need to complain. There's an energy, flowing constantly, On a frequency, that i couldn't see, But now i know that we're connected, I know that we're connected. This isn't real, it couldn't be, That you could feel, the same as me. But now I'm flying higher than before, So lets just see now what we're made of. If your a person who can't define, exactly who you are inside, well there's no need to worry, Cos i should know, i feel I've grown, and i have more to show, If you'll just hear my story. From what I've found It's been made clear, we're misinformed and run on fear, when will this contest end? Just look inside yourself. There's an energy, flowing constantly, On a frequency, that i couldn't see, But now i know that we're connected, I know that we're connected. This isn't real, it couldn't be, That you could feel, the same as me. But now I'm flying higher than before, So lets just see now what we're made of.
