[Verse]

As the sun beats down while I'm working

Every ounce of pain I'm exerting

Every single bone that I'm breaking

Must be worth for the plan

[Pre Chorus]

Even if it takes a year

It is worth every single tear we shed

Every filthy mask we wear

Hides the weakest face inside

[Chorus]

All my fears brought to life

By the hands pulling strings

Tight as chains wrapped around

My arms as they

Make me do things that I'd

Never consider doing

At least not yet

[Verse]

I'm paying the price for escaping death

And it's replacing the weight on my shoulders

With a heavy chain and a tendency for pain

To be what consumes the best of me

[Pre Chorus]

Even if it takes a year

It is worth every single tear we shed

Every filthy mask we wear

Hides the weakest face inside

[Chorus]

All my fears brought to life

By the hands pulling strings

Tight as chains wrapped around

My arms as they

Make me do things that I'd

Never consider doing

At least not yet

[Bridge]

I'm going insane

I'm going insane

I was right

Survival came at a costly price

Now I have a deathwish I can't show

So I'll hide it under layers of deceptive clothing

[Chorus]

All my fears brought to life

By the hands pulling strings

Tight as chains wrapped around

My arms as they

Make me do things that I'd

Never consider doing

At least not yet
