once again in a world of my own
with nothing left to do
everything looks different now
reality is sleeping through

there are those who want to
tear me down
to turn me into them
I've tried so hard but it's been so long
it's happening again

this is the world you live in
consumed by lust and love and hate
restrain and try not to give in
and pray that it's not too late
this is the world you live in
you're eaten to the core by fear
restrain and try not to give in
hide behind the masks you wear

struggle in this world of your own
knowing there's no way to escape the truth
everything tastes bitter now
nothing is fresh and nothing is new
there are those who want to make you theirs
to make you one of the herd
my only defense is that I've never cared
my screams go unheard

(my greed my fear my tears won't come
they've dried in the sockets I've come undone)
