The System Brought Me Here Video (MV)

In the quiet rooms where silence grew
I thought I knew the way things flew
But the winds would shift the skies would change
I chased the sun but felt so strange

I followed lines straight as a wire
A steady climb without desire
But in the shadow of a doubt
I wondered what it's all about

The questions lingered in the air
Like whispers fading everywhere
Until the mirror showed the truth
A different face a stolen youth

Once upon a time I used to be that guy
So constant in anything never asked why
And then everything was made so clear
Once free the system brought me here

The stars that used to guide my way
Felt distant like they'd lost their sway
I walked the roads they paved with gold
But found no warmth just growing cold

I lived the life they said was right
Kept moving forward lost the fight
And now I'm standing on the edge
Of what I knew of every pledge

I broke the chains I couldn't see
But still the weight fell down on me
What's freedom worth if all I find
Is a world designed to cage my mind?

Once upon a time I used to be that guy
So constant in anything never asked why
And then everything was made so clear
Once free the system brought me here

Now the walls they crumble slow
But where I'll end I just don't know
I'm not the same I'm lost I'm found
In every silence there's a sound

Once upon a time I used to be that guy
So constant in anything never asked why
And then everything was made so clear
Once free the system brought me here

Once free but now I see the bars
Trapped within my own the scars
Once I thought I knew my way
But here I stand another day
