Smiling Corpse Records
- Instrumental -
Parallel shadows on my path
Cutting me in half
As I stare into the sun
I see the people
Smiling from the outside
I'm not wondering who locked this cage
Do you know the meaning of freedom?
Do you know how to -
Break me out
Shattered in the rain
But I am whole again
Break me out
Criticism overridden
I'm not my own prison
Bend the pillars of the earth
Nothing can hold me
Blue hot and razor sharp
Do you understand the reason why
Our desire to escape
Kills what we cultivate?
No, I'm not afraid
I know this house is going to crumble
Foundations crack
And the walls are caving in on me
If you cannot break the lock
Then you'll have to warp the bars
If Atlas has shrugged
Then I guess we're going for a ride
If you look in the mirror
Did you give yourself those scars?
If you cannot break the lock
Then you'll have to warp the bars
I'm daring to close my eyes again
Same rush beneath my skin
Will carry me away
Knowing and consciousness escapes
Abandoned to my fate
And I'm falling
Piercing light
Fills my vision
Calls me every night
Come away
Filled with dread
And it seems that I'm awake
Tides awaken, all misshapen
Full moon lights my nightly haven
Peaceful slumber drowned in thunder
Rolling from my dreams tonight
Haunted, hunted, I'm the prey
My own mind will betray
A worry-shackled id
Colors never seen before
Are standing at my door
I'm welcoming the vultures
Carve me up
Make me see and
Guide my searching hand
Heed the call
After all
There is no rest for the damned
Swallowed alive and I'm terrified
The world I know isn't real
Hellfire in a haze
Rolling from my dreams tonight
