Goroth the Musician - Deeper Waters Lyrics

I'm trying hard
To play the part
The role given to me
But it's just not who I am
I wish that you could see

I'm trying hard
To play the part
The role given to me
But it's just not who I am
I wish that you could see

Here in shadows waste away
All my life is disarray
All because dreams cannot stay
And as we grow is it better that way

For living once miserable is surely worse than living life once happily
Living life once is hard enough in a world so big
It's a cruel joke really
We're raised being told we can be anything
But realistically we can only be what our environment allows
Breaking out from the mold seems preferable in such instances
But with such a lack of direction who could really say how to go about it
I never know what to think anymore about my dreams
Is that really what I want
Or is it just what I've been told to want
It's like no matter how hard I try to succeed and be happy
It starts to feel like I have to pick one over the other
For living once miserable is surely worse than living life once happily
Living life once is hard enough in a world so big
It's a cruel joke really
We're raised being told we can be anything
But realistically we can only be what our environment allows
But with such a lack of direction who could really say how to go about it
I never know what to think anymore about my dreams
Is that really what I want
Or is it just what I've been told to want
It's like no matter how hard I try to succeed and be happy
It starts to feel like I have to pick one over the other
