Acceptance Lyrics - Face Down

Awaken and I feel sick 

Like butterflies dying in my stomach 

Now I cannot sleep 

The visions creep behind my stare 

Giving me the reality 

Of dying in a nightmare 

Don't say that it doesn't mean anything 

Don't say you can't die in your dreams 

I'm running through a familiar hall 

The nameless overwhelming 

They keep pushing me they're pulling me apart 

What I think what I feel what I say 

Well it doesn't seem to make a difference to anyone but me 

You can't imagine what I see when I dream 

It's a wonder that I have not been locked away 

I don't know why I care who can say 

Does a little part of me die every night I close my eyes 

I shut my eyes and dream 

Don't look right don't talk right why are you not right 

Don't dress right don't walk right I'll show you the light 

I wanna be your friend I'm gonna help you blend 

Into an All-American 

Clean you up real good like you know I should 

You'll never be yourself again!" 

Now I know what they mean when they say 

That resistance is a lesson in futility 

They can grab they can pull they can break 

To prove they're strong but I will awake and realize they were wrong 

So wrong about me
