Dread comes in waves for those who wait Without an answer, without a lifeline A broken mistake, a reason to fail Tormented for living
I can't escape this feeling That we're buried underneath The expectations we've reduced And that crumbled at our feet It's not enough to escape the hole That you are fit in too, There's only room for one In the house of the egocentric
Covert horns hide the devil inside, Masquerade as the innocent Deceiver that you are It's all a mess now and you've only got yourself to blame Escape path from this progress The freedom you claim I can't understand you Your words are insane, your words are insane Your words are making you insane
Procure for war, we've lost the cure To fix our system's leak
So hold me down, your veiled disguise Now I can't breath out your words round my throat So hold me down, your veiled disguise The mask has been dropped, the face is my own So hold me down, your veiled disguise Now I can't breath out your words round my throat
'Cause this is not how you live free When every waking moment's spent dreaming It's OK for you to be alone If it gives you opportunity to make this life your own Coordination of everyday life, you're fighting to stay afloat You have a choice now, I know you have what it takes to see it through Another fork in the road to set your sights Only you know best now make your choice
So hold me down, your veiled disguise Now I can't breath out your words round my throat So hold me down, your veiled disguise The mask has been dropped, the face is my own
Watching over me In solitude you'll see That I have found a way To find strength from within
