Carried Away

I know I won't be heard on the radio
But please tell me what's the point

You'd be willing to sell your soul
To achieve temporary goals
But who cares when his name is a shame
As long as he gets instant fame

Carried away in a sea of false pretenses
Can this go on forever
Forever and ever

How can you see it bloom
You're too blind to start from the bottom

Torn apart from the inside out
You'll never know what it's about
You only care about your image
And not the message
Now's the time for you to open your eyes
And realise your integrity has been compromised
What you really want is to walk on gold
That's why you'll never break the mold

Carried away in a sea of false pretenses
Can this go on forever
Forever and ever

I'd rather be trapped inside my head
Than be living in your world
I'm not scared of what's ahead
My path may be blurred
But I won't be misled
I've learned to stand by my words
I stand by my words

Carried away in a sea of false pretenses
Can this go on forever
Forever and ever
