"The Oblivious" lyrics

I see these faces of strangers surrounding me
Weary hearts and idle minds
I've wasted time trying to find the light behind their eyes
But they forgot their dreams (The indifferent will only achieve)
And they don't aspire to anything (A life of apathy)

I don't wanna live like the rest of them
No one should settle for second best
Even when it feels like its hopeless with no way out
All the walls are getting closer and I start to doubt it all
I'll give it everything I've got, every part of me
To make the most of the life I lead

So many places outside the one you call home
Places you'll never know
And I'd waste my time trying to show you the world through my eyes
When you've lost everything (Ambition replaced by despair)
I won't let it happen to me (Content though you're going nowhere)

I don't wanna live like the rest of them
No one should settle for second best

Even when it feels like its hopeless with no way out
All the walls are getting closer and I start to doubt it all
I'll give it all that I have, all of the air I breathe
To make the most of the life I lead

You can keep your ignorance
But for me there will always be more to this

You can keep it, with your back to the world
Remain oblivious, you can keep it all
No initiative, no intention to grow
Stay oblivious and fucking keep it

I don't wanna live like the rest of them
No one should settle for second best
Even when it feels like its hopeless with no way out
All the walls are getting closer and I start to doubt it all
I'll give it everything I've got, every part of me
To make the most of the life I lead

Life I lead
