Strive

don't wanna feel, don't wanna get
 dragged down by monotony and
 i'd rather feel a pain that's real
 than hide behind a routine and
 i've gotta be the real me
 struggling for answers to questions
 that plague me, i've gotta be
 the only thing that i can depend on
 that anthem in my head, it makes me want it all
 that anthem in my head, it makes me keep on fighting
 the things i see that bother me
 can only make me stronger
 i have to go down my own road
 even if the path takes longer
 fighting to see and not believe
 that everybody must get older
 i'm hanging on, i'll sing my song
 won't let my heart grow colder
 they know everything
 gave up their free thinking
 because they've seen it all
 next stop is at the mall
