Their eyes pointed at me, somethin’ that they don’t want to see
They try to alienate me from their minds confusion
Loud colours say what I feel
Makes them sick……
Surrounded by what I could have been
Surrounded by what I could have been
With every fraction of time, every consuming moment
I feel their envy grow like a disfigured mirror of their own self worth
With every fraction of time…..
Surrounded by what I could have been
This dark canvas covers me
Surrounded by what I could have been
Surrounded by what I could have……
Held down by what we build is real
A faith we hold in materials
Our possessions knock down progression
What they see is more…….is more important than……than what we can feel
Surrounded by what I could have been
This dark canvas covers me
Surrounded by what I could have been
I’m something they don’t want to see …….
(Where they live, where they breath, where they get off…..)
Surrounded by what I could have been……….
