Force-fed on a hunger strike

Tag them dead before you focus in
Spoon feed the impact that you leave us with
Bring denial with a worldwide expansion team
Brand so deep into our minds
That it soon becomes our history
And image that's been marketed well
On the a__embly line of our lives

Shut it down before it ever starts
Turn on to the weakness we've been raised upon
(We'll turn you off again)

You've written up all the answers
We've followed them word for word
Disguised as our own subconscious
Defining our wrongs and rights

No more working on the strings you've made us
Drive the stake into your hardened hearts
We're done begging for the scrapes you throw us
We'll take the truth and our lives

Investigate and drain us we've found you out regaining
All the knowledge that you hid
You are no longer needed we'll keep our own hearts beating
Against the pulse that you denied

Demand it back our lives our minds you stole them
Nothing else will quench the hunger that will turn you off
And certify that we are free to find our own truth without you

This is not a test
This is not a test
Yes it has come to this
This is not a test

WITH EVERY INTENTION

Not in the running
But this rain is nothing new to me anyway,
I see my reflection,
No where near who I should be.
The spirit is willing
but the anchors of my flesh still hold me down.
With every distraction
I lose more of who I should be.

[Chorus:]
many times to try
Before I realized
The flaws in my design
May i have to ask why?
Why'd you make me so weak?
I tried but I'm incomplete
Is this all there is?
All there is to me?

How many chances
At redemption do I think I'll ever get?
Keep changing my rhythms
for a shot at something more.
Miracles happen
So why do I feel like I'm being left behind?
It's still in my nature
To look for what I can't find.

[Chorus]

Is this all there is?
Is this all there is to me?
I should be all better now.
This is all there is to me.
I can pick myself up again.
Is this all there is?
I hope that one day
I will make a stand.
But right now
This is all there is to me.

No matter how I dream
I will never be complete.
Cuz right now this is all there is to me.
Yea right now this is all there is to me...
