Pushed Aside

[Long guitar instrumental Intro] [Verse] I walk in isolation... Vaunting to my inner machinations... In my head - a false reality... The world is a deep blue sea. [Verse 2] In the dark, a living afterthought... Unseen, I am translucent... Despite my efforts only further I drift... (I drift...) I await the day the fog shall lift. [Verse 3] On the floor I lie... Crushed by the waves... My chest grows tighter... (grows tighter...) I'm not a fighter. [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. A mere shadow lurking. My voice is denied. Only further I am submerging. [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. I tried... So hard... I tried. [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. A mere shadow lurking. My voice is denied. Only further I am submerging. [Long chorus instrumental] [Fade out] [Verse 4] Despite it all I press on... I will not be swept under the current. I'm trapped in a bubble... Out of control I begin to buckle. [Verse 5] People laugh, and people cry... I'm barely getting by. Sailing through the night... (through the night...) Burning in the light. [Verse 6] Basking in the dark... Unable to emerge. I must remain in the norm... (in the norm...) I know my place in the swarm. [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. A mere shadow lurking. My voice is denied. Only further I am submerging. [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. I tried... So hard... I tried. [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. A mere shadow lurking. My voice is denied. Only further I am submerging. [Long chorus instrumental] [Fade out] [Verse 7] I walk in isolation... Vaunting to my inner machinations... In my head - a false reality... The world is a deep blue sea. [Verse 8] In the dark, a living afterthought... Unseen, I am translucent... Despite my efforts only further I drift... (I drift...) I await the day the fog shall lift. [Verse 9] On the floor I lie... Crushed by the waves... My chest grows tighter... (grows tighter...) I'm not a fighter. [Build-up] [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. A mere shadow lurking. My voice is denied. Only further I am submerging. [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. I tried... So hard... I tried. [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. A mere shadow lurking. My voice is denied. Only further I am submerging. [Chorus] I tried... So hard... I tried... So hard... I tried... So hard... I tried... [Chorus] Here I am, pushed aside. A mere shadow lurking. My voice is denied. Only further I am submerging. [Fade out] [Outro] Here I am... Pushed aside...
