Plight of the Deceived

[Verse 1]
Chasing birds like chasing dreams
Was all that I believed
To catch them not to let them in
For fear that they would leave
[Verse 2]
A troubled past so far away
Until I'm in my dreams
It’s then I find no amount of time
Can erase these memories
[Chorus]
So, tortured hearts across the stars
Hear me when I speak
There’s nothing else above yourself
That makes you feel weak
‘Cause aliens and Super Men
Would all have us believe
Their thicker skin and origin
Prevents them being weak
[Post-Chorus 1]
But I… see right through…
Me and you
[Verse 3]
All in all this life I call
My life is meaningful
Not every day is a parade
But every day is full
[Verse 4]
Sorrow cast like broken glass
Upon the ocean shore
Is swept by waves and molded into
Something to adore
[Chorus]
So, tortured hearts across the stars
Hear me when I speak
There’s nothing else above yourself
That makes you feel weak
‘Cause aliens and Super Men
Would all have us believe
Their thicker skin and their origin
Prevents them being weak
[Post-Chorus 2]
But I… see right through…
And I… see you
[Bridge]
A life has passed since I have asked
If anything is true
From Mother’s love to God above
And everything I knew
If fallacy gives life its meaning
I admit defeat
This wishing well, as far as I can tell
Was poisoning me!
[Chorus]
So, tortured hearts across the stars
Hear me when I speak
There’s nothing else above yourself
That makes you feel weak
‘Cause aliens and Super Men
Would all have us believe
Their thicker skin and origin
Prevents them being weak
[Post-Chorus 3]
But I… see right through…
I… see right through…
And I… see me and you
