Journey for the Self by Endtime Odyssey Lyrics
I've known all along
That failure could be real
Wanting what's best
Without taking chances
What’s on your mind?
Is it truly a crime
To show some guts and try
The life long journey for the self
Is a never ending search for answers
Discovery after discovery
We define who we are and where we are going
The definition of self-confidence
Is confidence in oneself and in one’s power and abilities
All our lives we will try
We will fail
We will succeed
We will feel pain
During that journey
The search of who we are
We might stumble upon our past
Upon painful memories
That will obscure our path
Memories long forgotten
Pushed away by self-preservation
By the fear of damaging what lies ahead
All our lives we will cry
We will laugh
We will love
We will feel pain
Don't want to see you try
I want to see your best
Don't want to see you fail again
Don't want to see you cry
Don't want to feel you near
Don't want to hear you in my head
It will never be easy to remain true to yourself
There are moments in life
Where you think nothing could go wrong
That all you’ve learned so far
Will guide you towards the right decisions
Towards a false sense of self-consciousness
But who are you to know what’s right?
All our lives we will fight
We will crawl
We will take punches
We will feel pain
To achieve a greater goal in life
We need to understand our purpose
Were we brought here only to procreate?
The mere reality is that all you’ve done
Is a product of your education and your beliefs
If you want that to change
Then start by re-inventing yourself
All our lives we will learn
We will forget
We will try again
We will bring pain
Don't want to see you try
I want to see your best
Don't want to see you fail again
Don't want to see you cry
Don't want to feel you near
Don't want to hear you in my head
Feel
Know
Fear
Grow
Fail
Go
Worn out by thoughts
Of unknown scale
Let us not pretend
That I won’t bend
I’ve tried so hard
I’ve tried to pull apart
But it’s all been in vain
Don't want to see you try
I want to see your best
Don't want to see you fail again
Don't want to see you cry
Don't want to feel you near
Don't want to hear you in my head
That failure could be real
Wanting what's best
Without taking chances
What’s on your mind?
Is it truly a crime
To show some guts and try
The life long journey for the self
Is a never ending search for answers
Discovery after discovery
We define who we are and where we are going
The definition of self-confidence
Is confidence in oneself and in one’s power and abilities
All our lives we will try
We will fail
We will succeed
We will feel pain
During that journey
The search of who we are
We might stumble upon our past
Upon painful memories
That will obscure our path
Memories long forgotten
Pushed away by self-preservation
By the fear of damaging what lies ahead
All our lives we will cry
We will laugh
We will love
We will feel pain
Don't want to see you try
I want to see your best
Don't want to see you fail again
Don't want to see you cry
Don't want to feel you near
Don't want to hear you in my head
