[Verse 1]

You're stranded on an island with a ghost inside your head

And all these nightmares haunting you, don't you wish you were dead? (Eid ot emit ruoy ton s'ti)

The swish and swoosh of ocean waves, a lifeless idol stands

With head up high, yet like all hope, feet's buried in the sand

[Pre-Chorus]

Blur the thin lines of morality

Till I become your new normality

[Chorus]

Shut up and listen, you're gonna be here for a very long time

Sit down and learn how one atones for their crime

The freedom you yearn is nothing more thеn just a dream

So give up and listen likе a puppet on a string

[Post-Chorus]

(Edistuo yats uoy erus ekam ll'I dna uoy ekat ll'I os moor ym ni gub gniyonna elttil a ekil er'uoy)

[Verse 2]

The glass of faith you're holding, is it half full or half empty?

The ones you treasure dearly, will they show up to your party? (Syawyna uoy tnaw yldrah)

The sun is setting all alone, indulging in self pity

Oh my my, you're so lonely

I'll be your friend, that should be plenty

[Pre-Chorus]

Blue the thin lines of morality

Till I become your new reality

[Chorus]

Shut up and listen, you're gonna be here for a very long time

Sit down and learn how one atones for their crime

The freedom you yearn is nothing more then just a dream

So give up and listen like a puppet on a string

Quiet and listen, I'm the only one who cares when you cry

Lessons you'll learn when you see things through my eyes

The freedom you'll earn by surrendering all your friendship and ties

Calm down and listen, I'm your friend, why would I lie?

[Bridge]

The friend that won't hurt you

The friend that will care

The friend unlike those who led you to despair

The friend to rely on

The friend you can cry on

The friend you should try and protect, please

[Chorus]

Shut up and listen, you're gonna be here for a very long time

Sit down and learn how one atones for their crime

The freedom you yearn is nothing more then just a dream

So give up and listen like a puppet on a string

Quiet and listen, I'm the only one who cares when you cry

Lessons you'll learn when you see things through my eyes

The freedom you'll earn by surrendering all your friendship and ties

Calm down and listen, I'm your friend, why would I lie?
