Timeless affirmation Endless allocation Fatal miscalculations Lead to hopeless situations Phantom protocol, data mining haul, termination call Nightmare escalation Drugs that you've been taking Logged in, no sensation Completion This is your dream state shattered by your destiny Only illusion could ever be enough for you to believe Process initiation For reckless degradation Synapse suffocation Lifeless propagation And creative limitations To human innovations This is your dream state shattered by your destiny Only illusion could ever be enough for you to believe No sense in waking, there is no greater truth than in the mind For all your hardships, everything you do is left behind

We've gotta stow our minds someplace else Gotta move on from day to day Push it aside, avert our eyes, pray it will go away Robotically we will carry on Keep on digging our graves Chains of guilt with our blinders on Nothing left to save Perfectly designed to keep you right in line, obedient and loving it You don't want this Servitude in mind with the illusion that you're a willing participant You don't want this Folding under the pressure, of your corporate lobotomy Slaves of circumstance in this tormenting dichotomy Slipping through our fingers Shouldering the blame The beast in all of us Has been adequately tamed Perfectly designed to keep you right in line, obedient and loving it You don't want this Servitude in mind with the illusion that you're a willing participant You don't want this

I say the world ain't easy for someone like me Where the most common tongue is insanity Can't be bothered to begin to see How you're entertained by trivialities Scream so loud but say nothing at all Just a torrent of noise behind your firewall I guess I checked out as it wasn't for me But knowing you, we can't agree to disagree I can't help but think it's all so shallow I can't help but feel it's all so hollow I can't help but catch a glimpse behind the veil I can't wait for you to say farewell I say the world ain't easy for someone like me Totally devoid of rationality  Caught in a tempest of the foulest noise Chase it with a pill for artificial joy A silent scream in a valley of ash Out with a whimper in the final crash In the mean time I'll take a seat and watch As you all crank it up to the final notch I can't help but think it's all so shallow I can't help but feel it's all so hollow I can't help but catch a glimpse behind the veil I can't wait for you to say farewell

Bear with me if I repeat myself If I repeat myself It's just that, all this time alone Kinda put my mind up on the shelf I’m beginning to see the light I'm beginning feel it's right I’m beginning to see the light I'm beginning to see All I have to do is run away, today All I have to do is find my way, I can't stay A bridge of sighs over a bottomless pit With a heart as cold as death And in the black, the thing that darkness fears Waiting with baited breath I’m beginning to see the light I'm beginning feel it's right I’m beginning to see the light I'm beginning to see All I have to do is run away, today All I have to do is find my way, I can't stay

Follow me, I know the way now For so long, I couldn't find the way out Lost inside the ever shifting sands within my mind I know it's so much better now I know it was slipping through my grip somehow I almost said goodbye As all my time scraped by I almost said goodbye And you were my stars at night Hope in the void of my life I almost said goodbye I almost said goodbye As all my time scraped by I almost said goodbye And you were my stars at night Hope in the void of my life I almost said goodbye
