The Reckoning - Palisades

I’ve been staring at my reflection

I’ve lost all perception

who have I become?

cause I don’t wanna be

another part of their

machines

it’s hard to breathe

sucking the life out of me

what does it mean

when everything you see

becomes what you believe?

this is the reckoning

no it’s not what it seems

I’m not who I thought I’d be

this will be the end of me

no it’s not what I dreamed

I’m not who I thought I’d be

I’m so lost stuck in my transition

and I can’t get a grip on

the person I’ve become

cause I’ve lost sight of me

force fed with words that they preach

I’ve been deceived

corrupted by their greed

just let me be, be the change you wanna see

just set me free

just set me free

(set me free)

do you feel like you’re in control?

Sacrificed enough

I found the meaning in the walls built up

and for the first time I see clearly

We were born to die

but not before we’re given the chance to survive

This is the reckoning

no it’s not what it seems

I’m not who I used to be
