Growing up in the east, used to think everything could be better in the West American Dream, work hard, earn money, the lifestyle we all dream Just be yourself, the ticket to freedom is all that they ever preach Yeah, how I dreamed that’d be the life id lead 
 Waking up in the morning, the promise of a better life waiting, a heart filled with a thousand dreams hoping, hoping and praying but it’s not compensating, stuck in a cycle, but no, it’s not paying Feels like they don’t hear me, they put a blind eye to the pain, masked behind a masquerade of a thousand days, of no gains, just blames, I just raise my hands and say 
 Feels like the light at the end of the tunnel is gone, I feel the ghost of the past continue to haunt No matter what I do, what I say, nothing will matter anyway Repeating the same old mistakes, when will the traces finally be erased 
 Trying so hard to forget all this madness But the shadows they’re binding, can’t let go, can’t hide this one alone’s just a pebble in the water But I can’t let the storm take over Again and again, we’ll try until the day that we get it right 
 These days, people don’t wanna think at all Mind on default, let the world control their thoughts Justifies caging up lives everyday Making money off ‘em like we still in the slave trade 
 So even after sacrificing blood, sweat and tears Them stories stay the same, manifests in different ways The seeds still remain, though the season changed tell me, is there any point when it all goes to waste 
 Feels like the light at the end of the tunnel is gone, I feel the ghost of the past continue to haunt No matter what I do, what I say, nothing will matter anyway Repeating the same old mistakes, when will the traces finally be erased 
 Trying so hard to forget all this madness But the shadows they’re binding, can’t let go, can’t hide this  one alone’s just a pebble in the water But I can’t let the storm take over Again and again, we’ll try until the day that we get it right 
 
 Been trying to find the words to keep going But it’s a mess, in the end, I’ve found nothing  We can’t hope for the best when the system is broke Where’d the power to the people go, this is no joke 
 And all I’m hearing is the ringing of the word “wait” Give it time, you’re impatient, like there’s no pain Subjected indefinitely, waiting unintentionally ‘Til the day that it all fades away
