I'm seeing life through the looking glass
Sometimes I feel I wasn't made to last
The clouds are rising, the sun is shining but I can't see too far ahead
It's all a leap of faith
Only when you stand alone you realize
That the strength you need is within, not outside
And I'll always swim against the stream
I'm not biting the bait
I'm gonna go on, no matter what they say
All that I am or I'll ever be, goes against what they preach
Their words are a fiction, a barren conviction
They hold no weight
Sometimes you just have to take the dive
And drown your fears so you can stay alive
Down in the depths of your desires you will find
The real meaning of your life
Don't think twice
And I'll always swim against the stream
I'm not biting the bait
I'm gonna go on, no matter what they say
All that I am or I'll ever be, goes against what they preach
Their words are a fiction, a barren conviction
They hold no weight, but somehow they pull me down like anchors
I'm adrift in the midst of a raging darkened sea
I'm taking in water, I'll hit the bottom
While I'm reaching up to breath
And I'll always swim against the stream
I'm not biting the bait
I'm gonna go on, no matter what they say
All that I am or I'll ever be, goes against what they preach
Their words are a fiction, a barren conviction
They hold no weight, but somehow they pull me down like anchors
