No Longer - Makari

Drifting gently with the tide

Through an ocean gone dry

Voice of a siren makes me weak

It’s lulling me to sleep and fabricating dreams

Void of all meaning

Now that I must decide between

What’s right in front of me and what I truly need

The answer’s easy

I can no longer hide

From the words falling on my deaf ears

I’m drowning in my dreams

Caught up in all my lies

Deep down I know that I don’t belong here

It takes its toll on me

No longer chasing, I’ve been so empty inside

How many hearts need to break before mine dies?

And every moment’s just another vapid means to an end

Why have I chosen to deceive myself again and again?

Is this who I am?

I’m trapped within a power struggle between comfort and truth

Bearing the weight until I crumble

But I refuse to be consumed

I can no longer hide

From the words falling on my deaf ears

I’m drowning in my dreams

Caught up in all my lies

Deep down I know that I don’t belong here

It takes its toll on me

Secrets that I’ve kept

Clouding my intent

Fooled myself again

Lost all of my friends

I can no longer hide

From the words falling on my deaf ears

I’m drowning in my dreams

Caught up in all my lies

Deep down I know that I don’t belong here

It takes its toll on me
