Beyond the Past Lyrics by Jay Ray

Self-Resonance

2017

[Introduction] :
Iʼve seen how far weʼve gone
And itʼs breaking me
Iʼve held on to this stone
And itʼs taking me down
Untroubled childhood bliss turns to pain and suffering
[The first verse] :
Itʼs just a way of preparing you
For the cold realities of everyday strife
It's just way of ingraining you
With this grand subservient way of life. (way of life, way of life, way of life, way of life)
[Chorus] :
Now thereʼs a void in my heart, but I could not go beyond
And the way I used to be feels so far away
Itʼs just way of ingraining you
With this self-unsustaining of life
Thereʼs no escaping our fate
The course remains the same
[The second verse] :
Itʼs just a way to bring you under their control
And tell you that itʼs for your own good
Itʼs just a way it was in a time of life when
You were the one who will never be understood
I wonʼt sign my life away
I wonʼt sign my life away !
[Chorus] :
Now thereʼs a void in my heart, but I could not go beyond
And the way I used to be feels so far away
Itʼs just way of ingraining you
With this self-unsustaining of life
Thereʼs no escaping our fate
The course remains the same
[Breakdown] :
When there was nothing but time for our lives to begin
There was never need for us to pretend
When there was nothing beyond the confines of our skin
And all that followed will die in the end
[Bridge] :
There was nothing but time in our hands
For our lives to begin
We always were ourselves
There was no need for us to pretend
There was no need for reaching
Beyond the confines of our skin
Whatʼs left is memories and the rest will die in the end
[Outroduction] :
Can you feel in your heart ? It is calling you from inside and telling you not to be afraid
Can you feel when your heart is waking up the truth and telling: ‹ Thereʼs still hope for a change › ?
