Linkin Park

here it goes

They said u couldn’t make it

They said you’d fail

They told u it wasn’t meant to be

For you to prevail

They assumed your fall even before u began

They said it once, they’ll say it again

Until the words they speak

Are etched into your flesh so deep

That every move you make

Reminds you of more misery

But how long can you go on

Pretending the lies u hear are real

Acting as if the part of you

That wants to fight is surreal

How long can u go on?

Thinking u can’t tell right from wrong

That the path u chose of suffering, of struggle

Was nothing but something long gone?

How can u go on faking?

Thinking that u can never be that

One-in-a-million in the making

How can u stop your spirit?

From rising high above the rest

Can you really keep yourself

from trying not to be the best?

How long can u make others believe?

That reaching out for your dream is sth u don’t need

When inside a part of u wants to scream

It needs more than what u think you’ve achieved

How long can u be absorbed in a state of insecurity

When the world around u continues to breathe

How far will u go?

Before the road u walk on leads to no more

How long will it take for u to recognize your true soul?

How long will you go on living with so much sorrow?

How far will your heart carry u along?

How long will u go on?

How long…
