Obstacle Lyrics

As the weakened
Attempt to stand
The cold wind of progression
Causes their downfallTaken what was theirs
Now you call it yours
Your thievery justified
By legislation and mightThe control of majority
Never ceases to overpower
The wounded and the unfortunate
Left for dead without a second thoughtLooking deep into a mirror
The image frightens you
What you've become
Your own obstacleLooking deep into a mirror
The image frightens you
What you've become
Your own obstacleThe burden placed
On your shoulders
Causes guilt to flow

Through a once dead soulWhich took so much
From so many others
One choice is left
To take from yourselfWhat they worked
So hard to achieve
Taken by your hand
Of disdainLooking deep into a mirror
The image frightens you
What you've become
Your own obstacleLooking deep into a mirror
The image frightens you
What you've become
Your own obstacleAnd as you realize
That the mirror doesn't lie
And the self you imagined
Is yet another fantasyAnd as realization takes its toll
A cold feeling overwhelms you
And you've become
Your own obstacleLooking deep into a mirror
The image frightens you
What you've become
Your own obstacleLooking deep into a mirror
The image frightens you
What you've become
Your own obstacleYour own, your own, your own, your own obstacle
Your own, your own, your own, your own obstacle
