lyrics

Don't keep hiding your mistakes
as they're slipping through your fingers
Shaking off the blame turned out an easy to become fearless
They rise the pressure in the streets,
lower the value of my dreams
Every day my will leans closer to my knees

Against the wall
My rage is boiling inside
You push me down, you don’t want me screaming
All I’ve got left is just a pessimistic smile

If you keep squeezing out our brains
we’ll pick up every drop to build a different world with common sense
There is no other flag we need.
I want you to look upon my face
same flesh and bones that you outrage
Time to forget about the past, look for what lies ahead.

Fear the silence of your steps
It’s time to take a stand for change

Against the wall
My rage is boiling inside
You push me down, you don’t want me screaming
All I’ve got left is just a pessimistic smile

Against the wall
My rage is boiling inside
You push me down, you don’t want me screaming
Oh what I’ve got left if you take away my smile...

(Against the wall…)
Inside my rage is boiling
(You push me down…)
You don’t want me screaming
(I can’t go forth…)
Want you to look upon my face
(Don’t hide your smile…)
And see my pessimistic smile
