[Verse 1]

So long to young love, I've anchored my heart

Farewell to small joys, I've burned down the bar

I'm changing my name so I don't do no harm

Some say it's vanity, some say it's charm

[Refrain]

No levels, still the same old devils

[Verse 2]

Frightened of fear, a servant of time

Kidnapped the queen, I have angered the hive

Snuffed out the star with celestial winds

Ended a cycle that started again

I stopped going out, they kept coming in

Was I saving my soul or saving my skin?

[Refrain]

No levels, still the same old devils

[Verse 3]

Can't hold it close, can't let it go

Prisons and basements in slick model homes

I'm just a day-tripper on sacred terrain

My transformation went from mangled to tame

I don't feel different but I don't feel the same

I'm afloat with an ear to the ground

I built a fortress with some books and a phrase

I felt some heat, so I came out of the haze

I saw the end and I was truly afraid

I have begged but I'm still not allowed

[Chorus]

It's a trap, lay the bait

Catch the rat

It's a trap, lay the bait

Catch the rat

[Verse 4]

Flew home and left the unknown in the lurch

Kept finding bodies, I called off the search

Went to a hymn from a funeral dirge

Church in the hospital, dog in the church

[Refrain]

No levels, still the same old devils

[Verse 5]

Shepherd me back, this time I know

I don't know nothing, I'm not in control

[Outro]

Mindful but gutless

Mindful but gutless

Mindful but gutless

Mindful but gutless

There's no need to panic

No need to panic
