lyrics

Unjust! You always plead
Can't you take the lead
Tear down what's wrong

You pray and bow to what
They say comes from god
Think for yourself

Don't you see what you can create
Know you are the architect of your
own fate

One step forward - two steps back
Taking punches 'til you crack
It wears you down

Your creed is built on sand
Couldn't ever stand
The test of time

Blame your flaws - on no one but yourself
You are the cause
Destiny - you hide behind empty words
set yourself free

You (you) are clay
Form what you're given

Take (take) the wheel
And you will be driven

You tell me that I’m wrong - WHAT?
Look at you and then tell me you are
strong - NO!
(you) fool yourself

There's a word for you - CLOWN
You can't pull your own weight
You let yourself - DROWN

Blame your flaws - on no one but yourself
You are the cause
Destiny - you hide behind empty words
Set yourself free

You (you) are clay
Form what you're given

Take (take) the wheel
And you will be driven

You can never grow
If you just follow
Sing your own song

If you don't risk and try
With you your life will die
No stories told

Don't you see what you can create
Know you are the architect of your
own fate
