Hey, you want it.
Hey, you need it.
And you stand tall,
But you act small,
And you lose it all.

And you lost it all.
And you will fail to fall,
'Cause you will stand up tall,
Even through all these things they've done to you.
****
I can show you the road,
But you've got to take the plunge.
I can't walk the way for you;
You've got to see it for yourself.
You've got to see it for yourself.

Hey, you wanted
To be honest.
And you told the truth,
But it severed you,
And you lost it all.
****
And I lost it all.
And I was forced to fall
Back when I had a dream
Where I became all these terrible things.
****
I have lived through the soul squeeze,
It presses in on your being,
Leeching life as you fade out.
Glad I left when I could.
I wish you'd leave now while you can make it out.
