Frames

Frames-Numbers
go ahead and remember
the things you hate about my life
forget who you love and replace with yourself
i've had enough
like a lab rat
making me find my way through your impossible maze
but you manipulate as i perpetuate
so what if i broke some rules for a change?
try harder drop the act of playing martyr
figure out your life
before you waste your time to save mine
just you wait and see
you'll come crawling back to me
if i take away mistakes i've made
you'll do what it takes to make me fade
because there's nothing left at stake
you've got nothing on your plate
if i take away the only thing
that makes you want to break my spirit's chain
you'll just find another frame to paint me in
doesn't matter what i do or where i've been
there was a time when our ears weren't drowned out in noise
when the effort and love for this was listened to, instead of destroyed
we've been spoiled by ourselves and our thirst for more and our lust to enjoy
we've been given everything for free
and yet we're victims of each others' ploys
stages rang as voices sang for the first time to virgin ears
"no one hears me"
we complained even though this was made exponentially simple for years
if i take away mistakes i've made
you'll do what it takes to make me fade
if i take away mistakes i've made
you'll do what it takes to make me fade
i can see your walls are caving in
so just listen and listen and listen
if i don't fit your frame just throw me away
