Lyrics
I wanted it all, but couldn't get it all under control
The desire for complete control was unattainable.
Didn't realize how much I could lose this way
Unaware of the extent of potential losses through this path.
I'm cleansing my soul in the light, trying to get innocent
Seeking purity and innocence through spiritual cleansing.
Will you lead me straight, or will I lose my faith
Questioning whether guidance will maintain faith or lead to its loss.
Faith, without faith, I will fail, without faith
Expressing dependence on faith for success.
Carved out of flesh, this is who you made
Being shaped by external influences or circumstances.
I have come to find I was never on my own
Realization that one was never entirely alone.
I'm trying too hard to claim originality
Struggling to assert individuality.
Still I'm no one new, I'm just like you
Despite efforts, realizing similarity to others.
I always wanted it to be something different
Desire for uniqueness or change from the ordinary.
I never wanted to be something other than me
Preference to remain authentic and true to oneself.
Now it's come to this and I've not proved wiser than before
Despite experiences, not gaining greater wisdom.
Neverending struggles wear different faces
Continual challenges take various forms.
The higher I climb, the harder I fall
Struggles intensify with greater accomplishments.
And I've never found a way to break down softly
Difficulty in handling failure gracefully.
But the stars explode and help me reach the other side
Reference to celestial support aiding transition.
That takes me from, what I've become
Moving away from current self or state.
