Daydreams play back like distant memories As I drown in elusive ecstasy Calling out to me Show me what I want to see Still I wait here for what I can’t possess Shackled by my delusion’s sweet caress Calling out to me Show me what I want to see Intoxicated on a fantasy Seeking serenity I am apparently A little out of harmony With your reality Vanishing, vanishing Intoxicated on a fantasy Seeking serenity I am apparently A little out of harmony With your reality Vanishing, vanishing Intoxicated on a fantasy Seeking serenity I am apparently A little out of harmony With your reality Vanishing, vanishing Intoxicated on a fantasy Seeking serenity I am apparently A little out of harmony With your reality Vanishing, vanishing

Stone cold, waiting for a sign Cause the story's nothing at all like had I designed The pen is slipping from my hand Let my voice break through the wall Cause I wonder if there's anyone Who can hear me at all Someone to understand Cause I can't hold on any longer I'm falling faster Trembling as I lose my grip On my happily ever after And I'm not ready yet to face the end I want to feel alive again Alive again, alive again I'm falling faster Spill my mind across the page Try so hard to deny that I'm stuck inside of a cage To keep my facade of control Words fail as they leave my lips Am I the author or a pawn in another's grip No matter what I say I feel like little more than clay I'm falling faster I'm falling faster I'm falling faster I'm falling faster I'm falling faster Trembling as I lose my grip On my happily ever after And I'm not ready yet to face the end I want to feel alive again Alive again, alive again I'm falling faster

(One, two, ready, go) Infection scatters through the circuits In your shattered mind Converting all your dreams to nightmares That you can’t rewind Push all the buttons And now suddenly you can’t see straight Too late Locked you in a stalemate There is no remedy The memory’s corrupted now Call me a plague It’s all a game to me I’ll show you how Cause I hold all the cards Your guard has crumbled to the ground Ready for the next round So why am I afraid to close my eyes Just let me drift to nowhere Wake up and not feel paralyzed Why do you throw my troubles back at me It’s bad enough without you Just go away and let me be Just let me be (Yeah right) I work behind the scenes To find whatever I can use To cause some chaos Cause I love to see somebody lose You don’t see me But I see every single inch of you Tell me what you gonna do Shut down your system Through the schism in your broken head Lost in denial Your survival’s on a razor’s edge Got the advantage And the damage cannot be undone (You’re done) Now there’s nowhere left to run So why am I afraid to close my eyes Just let me drift to nowhere Wake up and not feel paralyzed Why do you throw my troubles back at me It’s bad enough without you Just go away and let me be Just let me be (Knock knock, sleepy head) (No, not now) (Did you miss me? I missed you, you know) (Please, go away) (Why do you keep pretending?) (Just stop) (I’m the only one who hears you) (No, you’re wrong) (No one really cares about you) (Stop it, please) (You’ll never be good enough) (I’m not listening) (You already know that) (Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up) (And it’s all your fault) (Just shut up!) So why am I afraid to close my eyes Just let me drift to nowhere Wake up and not feel paralyzed Why do you throw my troubles back at me It’s bad enough without you Just go away and let me be Just let me be Just let me be

Memory fades into the sun Sayonara Helplessly the mind becomes undone As we move onto different planes Of our existence We try so hard to cling to what remains Images flash and then decay Into the distance Desperately I wish for you to stay Although we knew this day would come I’m not quite ready Words escape me now I just feel numb I won’t forget you I won’t forget you I won’t forget you I won’t forget you I won’t forget you I won’t forget you Memory fades into the sun Sayonara Helplessly the mind becomes undone Although we knew this day would come I’m not quite ready Words escape me now I just feel numb I won’t forget you I won’t forget you I won’t forget you

One million crossroads inside my head My heart is telling me to forget Yet still it clings to my silhouette I try to settle on what I need I know it’s never enough for me My head is splitting right down the seams

Know your place Servant to the master Play along And you can climb the ladder But when it starts to break Those at the bottom Are the first to burn And told their fate is earned While our overlords Carried on palanquins Look down and laugh As we kill for their scraps And if the hand that feeds still leaves me starving Don’t be surprised if I decide I’ve had enough And if the powers that be still leave me hanging Soon they will find out what it’s like to be undone Don’t you try to cut out my tongue I’m not some toy that you can throw away You beat me like a cornered stray So now you get the teeth and the fire underneath (Go!) Cast aside Like a tool from last year Powerless Security disappears Still the cogs move on As if they never Had use for you There’s always someone new But every hand cut loose Is a new ally To unfix the rules We won’t be played for fools And if the hand that feeds still leaves me starving Don’t be surprised if I decide I’ve had enough And if the powers that be still leave me hanging Soon they will find out what it’s like to be undone Don’t you try to cut out my tongue I’m not some toy that you can throw away You beat me like a cornered stray So now you get the teeth and the fire underneath (Go!) We will rise We will rise We will rise We will rise And if the hand that feeds still leaves us starving Don’t be surprised if we decide we’ve had enough And if the powers that be still leave us hanging Soon they will find out what it’s like to be undone And if the hand that feeds still leaves us starving Don’t be surprised if we decide we’ve had enough And if the powers that be still leave us hanging Soon they will find out what it’s like to be undone (Go!)

Stuck again Inside your paradoxical Toxic paradigm So persistent On insisting That my existence is a crime All of your words are pollution You got no solution Head full of delusion And lies you hold so true Treating me like I’m a villain You gotta be kiddin' Cause I’m on a mission To save the world from you Cause you’re holding me down You’re holding me down You’re holding me down You’re holding me Holding me Holding me Holding me You can’t stop us this time I see you tryin' to pull a fast one Hoping to be the last one standing Demanding compliance Trying to silence Every other voice in the crowd Drown out our cries and tie us down While your grip is slipping On your crown Desperately fabricating Your own narrative Control is imperative Truth against you is irrelevant But we don’t break or bend To your petty intention Craving attention Through your transparent deception Quit pretending you’re the protagonist Sadistic narcissist Cause your influence Is washing away You oughta fix Your fixation on yesterday Your backwards state of mind Has overstayed it’s time, okay We look to the horizon While you plot our demise And try to disguise Your lies as some holy crusade You’ve played too long And now you’ve gone and dulled your blade Now it’s only a matter of time So hurry up and fade away You're holding me down You're holding me down

Why am I so afraid Just to turn a single page It's hard to be an open book Cause I'm scared to let you look And see you turn away They say everyone has a secret And I don’t how much longer I can keep it to myself Wish I could be somebody else Soon it’ll all be plain to see Would you run and hide If you ever saw my other me My other me I don't mean to shut you out I just can't shake the senseless doubt Faith's a narrow two way road And I'm ready to implode Unless you hear me out The disguise I wear is suffocating And I feel like I've been waiting My whole life to let you know A side that I rarely get to show Soon it’ll all be plain to see Would you run and hide If you ever saw my other me Take my hand into a brand new chapter Is it so wrong to wish for For my own happily ever after But first I have to let you through the door So before I turn the key Promise me That you won't run and hide When you finally see my other me My other me Would you run and hide If you ever saw my other me

Pre-ordained by your hand To fit into this role I will trust in your guidance So I may be made whole Fill the spaces between With your wisdom and grace I will gladly wear the smile You’ve painted on my face This doesn’t feel right Whenever I recite The lines you put into my head You say this is me But a voice disagrees And warns maybe that I’ve been misled Dance for me Dance for me A cold silhouette Of a marionette Is that my own shadow Dance for me Dance for me I’m starting to see The strings holding me And I don’t know where to go Dance for me Dance for me I gave you my trust I just can’t adjust Is everything I know a lie Dance for me Dance for me The chains that we built Out of my own guilt Shackle my eyes Thrown back into the box When I step out of line You assure me that this Is all according to design Claiming no complication Cause you just want what’s best Every time you put my constitution To the test This doesn’t feel right Whenever I recite The words you mime onto my lips And now I’m aware There’s deceit in the air So you desperately tighten your grip Dance for me Dance for me A cold silhouette Of a marionette Is that my own shadow Dance for me Dance for me I’m starting to see The strings holding me And I don’t know where to go Dance for me Dance for me I gave you my trust I just can’t adjust Is everything I know a lie Dance for me Dance for me The chains that we built Out of my own guilt Shackle my eyes Dance for me Dance for me A cold silhouette Of a marionette Is that my own shadow Dance for me Dance for me I’m starting to see The strings holding me And I don’t know where to go Dance for me Dance for me I gave you my trust I just can’t adjust Is everything I know a lie Dance for me Dance for me The chains that we built Out of my own guilt Shackle my eyes Dance for me Dance for me Dance for me Dance for me Dance for me Dance for me Dance for me Dance for me
