Paradox

They put so much weight on "ideal living"
Fought the world face-to-face, here all of their lives

Say, you've got me locked on this sinister prize
I reach for what your lips say
Existing, trapped in your grasp all my life
I find I'm chained inside
Inside
Sigh
My reflection, cast aside

Seize, oh, my deepest uncertainty
Free and awaken the raptor
I dance with the monsters I hid from inside
Warring for solace, I lunged at the world and found me
I'm the ally, the enemy, see
All my life, I can stand free
The monsters I fight aren't from you, they're inside
Conquer the world here within me and then, I'll thrive
