nickwuh - Alchemy

Is it true you were doomed from the start?
Will the lead ever turn into gold?
Will it poison you into old age?
When you're dying alone and cold

'Cause screaming doesn't make a family
It only makes mistakes
But the suffering seemed to not be enough
So it happens again anyway

If this skin, this blood, this face were any good
Then why do i have so much left to prove?
Am I a disgrace, or am I breaking away
From antiquated ways

If this voice, this mind, these hands have any worth
Why is my future buried under dirt?
Will i know if I've learned from the holes in their logic?
Is failure just genetic?

Through and through you believed in the odds
That it's fate; that it's what the world wants
Is it true you gave up at the start?
Mistaking joy for the solace in art

If the places change but you feel the same
Maybe the issue's a part of you
If they come and go and you're left all alone
What do you turn to now?

If this skin, this blood, this face were any good
Then why do i have so much left to prove?
Am I a disgrace, or am I breaking away
From antiquated ways

If this voice, this mind, these hands have any worth
Why is my future buried under dirt?
Will i know if I've learned from the holes in their logic?
Is failure just genetic?

Will this skin, this blood, this face ever be good?
And how much must I sacrifice so that I can prove
I'm not just a fake, or the monster that took the place
Of who I used to be

If this voice of mine will ever be heard
Then why are my questions left unanswered
Will I make the same mistakes
Or will the pain pay off someday?
