Superficial nature  wearing thin.
 I can't  seem to begin.
  (1)  Riff 1
 What really do I see when I stare back at me?
As  crushing time  reveals my foe,
 Inheriting  all woe.
 Solutions  in the past,
  CRiff 1
 Conditioned not to ask.
 It's what  you're meant to be,
Your  name and number.
 Be all  that you should be.
 You will recover things  you haven't lost,
Cause  they don't see you like  you think they do.
 Please just become you.
 "Release your fear" is what he said.
 This all came to a head.
 Feel cheated out of you,
 Tradition follows through.
 Though I can't see how this will end,
 I know that you will always pull me through.
 My soul went searching for a cause
 But came back empty-handed.
 The emptiness you see...
 Building a better me.
