Every day feels like a struggle
To hold myself together
And every day I feel in trouble
Like it will never get any better

But regardless
I keep believing
Keep running toward the dream
I’m always seeing

Manifesting
Right before my eyes
When it comes
I’ll try my best to act surprised

Sometimes it all seems so real
Like it’s there waiting for us just behind the curtain
The voice behind the curtain is telling you it’s there

But life is getting strange
Stranger by the day
So damn strange
And I’m not sure that I’ll be ok

Seems like everyone just passes the blame
It’s just easier to call what I see by name
Will you smile when I make it to fame?
Or will you always be the one to extinguish my flame?

Sometimes it feels so hard to breathe
You’d think the air was being sucked right from our lungs
This whole system was designed to keep us down
Barely breathing, bleeding out and hanging by a thread

Sometime it feels like we’re better off dead
Everything’s so frighteningly fragile
I’m almost too afraid to touch anything anymore
Then I remember that it all burns in the end

What we’re going through, it’s just a phase
And I’m sorry if I seem a little insane
I try to play like life is just a game
But all this guilt, it makes me feel like I’m crashing my own plane

Don’t you wish you could just give it all away
Give all of your pain
But instead it’s being given to me

The voice behind the curtain is telling you to stay
The voice behind the curtain is telling you it’s there
