Will you ever look past your self-sufficient illusions 

The structure's true foundations rest within you 

The price we pay for sheer indifference 

Surrendered self - you're discount spare parts 

You give up your rights for your limitations 

and abandon all hope 

One step further down the line as the flood begins to rise 

You're on your knees faking ambition 

Now close your eyes and bleed 

I know there are things from the past that should never be brought back 

The ghosts of stale ideals and burning bridges 

In simplified innane depictions of a different world 

A lie to serve the fold and the forces in them 

As you give up your rights for your limitations 

and lay down your arms 

One step further down the line as the flood begins to rise 

You're on your knees faking ambition 

Now close your eyes 

In the darkest corner of my mind I see a boy with a crooked smile 

With a crown made of tinsel and glassbeads on a wire 

Singin a song out of time 

Now if you believe I'll bleed for you... 

and if I could bleed - so could you 

Close your eyes and pretend it'll go away 

but you know that you've got nothing to lose
