In this faux world we dwell where truth never aligns
With the hollow words that from their lips so carelessly entwines
We don our masks in dread not to stir the silent sea
Our freedom's leashed to what's deemed right by society's decree
Like black ooze from the pipes we swallow their deceit
The guardians of order now the authors of our defeat
Around the spinning wheel towards the void we're drawn
Where wrongs are the new rights and justice is but a pawn
Are we truly living or just bleeding out our days
For the sins of our past in an endless haunted maze?
No reign over our desires we grasp at what's not ours
Blinded by the darkness in these final fleeting hours
We're alone in the crowd filling voids with things and taste
Nothing lasts forever in an endless futile pace
No reign over our desires we grasp at what's gone
Blinded by the darkness in these final fleeting hours
We're alone in the crowd filling voids with things and taste
Nothing lasts forever in this reckless futile chase
Dreams of shadowed lies become the norm we embrace
As we march towards the end can we escape this place?
Will the sun ever rise in this world so stark and grim
Will our voices be free or is hope just a whimsical whim?
Punished for our thoughts if they dare to break the mould
It's the puppeteer's play can we escape this place?
The mighty and the wealthy they revel in our show
While the meek bear the burden in this theatre of woe
But there's hope in the night that we'll shatter this dark sphere
And rise from the ashes with nothing left to fear
The mighty and the wealthy they revel in our show
While the meek bear the burden in this theatre of woe
But there's hope
