Mistake

You're lying face down on the floor The walls are caving in but you Refuse to forget Close the window, lock the door, and hold your own Raging heavy war with a diluted mindest Oh no They won't let you hide You're so far off from where they want you to be Oh no They'll eat your hope alive You're not living, only breathing, this is not what we need Our minds are battle zones And we're all pretty far from winning This world is not our own But we've clung to every bit of hope since the beginning And I'm not finished yet Won't take me down, won't take me out Oh no We're not finished yet We'll be the start of the progress they've always worried about Well, if innocence is ignorance Then ignorance is bliss If ignorance is bliss Then I ought to be the happiest I'm not, we've been caught But we don't know what we've done Standing in the shadows of a world that's overrun By everything we've always been afraid of They lay us down to sleep and say it's all that we need But I think that it's time we wake up And establish Who We Are instead of Who We Ought To Be Oh God, with every breath that I take There's another fragile shadow and I'm lost in their ways Please don't ever listen to what the voices have to say You've gotta run away You Are Not A Mistake --- Mistake - For the Fire
