We're told when we're young
We can be anything
And everything is gonna be just fine
So we laugh and play
Fulfilling our days
With nothing but happiness

As we grow
More obstacles get in the way
We must abide by the rules
Made up by the fools
Who've stricken society
'Cause the further you go the harder you fall
Our instincts are quickly fading away
We're captive but free, supposedly

I'm sure we've all thought to ourselves
There's more to life
There's more to life

I'm feeling the pressure
From every direction
This daily routine is skewing perception
As I lay awake
I'm pestered by thoughts that consume my integrity
We've learned to expect the worst
I'm speaking these words 'cause you're not alone
If you feel the same
Make the change with me
'Cause the further you go the harder you fall
Our instincts are quickly fading away
We're captive but free, supposedly

I'm sure we've all thought
I'm sure we've all thought
'Cause the further you go the harder you fall
Our instincts are quickly fading away
We're captive but free, supposedly

I'm sure we've all thought to ourselves
There's more to life
There's more to life
There's more to life
