Gavin Mikhail - Beyond You

So you feel good, feel lifted up
On high above the rest of us
So sure of all you know and how it goes now
But wait there’s one more price to pay
Your hope, your thoughts, the words you say
No longer yours, not now
They own you and that higher feeling you’ll never reach

I won’t agree to seeing my life sold to me
Won’t trade away the weight of all these hopes I know I need
And, so while you’re all along telling me I’m wrong
I’ve gone beyond you to all you’ll never be

And now you’re chasing down the lies
Wishing for more, some other time
When you’d live something more than this
Still you wish for ways to break from all they gave you
When you prayed for what to say
No longer yours, not now
They own you and that higher feeling you’ll never reach I won’t agree to seeing my life sold to me
Won’t trade away the weight of all these hopes I know I need
And, so while you’re all along telling me I’m wrong
I’ve gone beyond you to all you’ll never be
Gone beyond you to all you’ll never be

One free of all but reason
Asking me to need them, passionless you try
But I am not that stupid
So much more than what you’ve taken me for
Not like you, I’ve gone through, I am free

I won’t agree to seeing my life sold to me
Won’t trade away the weight of all these hopes I know I need
And, so while you’re all along telling me I’m wrong
I am still here without the fear that you showed to me
Won’t trade away the weight of all of the hope that I know I need
And, so while you’re all along telling me I’m wrong
I’ve gone beyond you to all you’ll never be
I have gone beyond you to all you’ll never be
I have gone beyond you to all you’ll never be
