Elias Pappas

Lyrics

Lying
Face down
Cursing god knows who
Feeling out of place in the places I choose
Sign me up for a lifetime
Sign my lifetime away

Every
Part of
Me is fighting the floor
My feet covered in the cement that I poured
Can I be who I thought of
When I imagined myself?

Gather the masses
That live off the past
As reality moves out of frame
Spin all their hopes
On the spools of the folks
That were handed their way to acclaim
I spend most nights roaming aimlessly
Death by complacency
Promises blatantly false
What does it mean to move on?

Under Pressure
And confused to the bone
Taught to jump
Now learn how to fly on your own
Who am I to feel miserable?
Who am I to want more?

Born to power
Rightful heir to the throne
Guard the sky from above with their army of clones
What I’d give to be up there
Oh, how I’d be out of place.

Gather the masses
That live off the past
As reality moves out of frame
Spin all their hopes
On the spools of the folks
That were handed their way to acclaim
I spend most nights roaming aimlessly
Death by complacency
Promises blatantly false
What does it mean to move on?
