[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

You give up your rights

For your limitations

And abandon all hope

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I know there are things from the past

That should never be brought back

The ghosts of stale ideals

And burning bridges

In simplified, inane depictions

Of a different world

A lie to serve the fold

And the forces in them

[Pre-Chorus]

As you give up your rights

For your limitations

And lay down your arms

[Chorus]

One step further down the line

As the flood begins to rise

You're on your knees, faking ambitions

Now close your eyes

[Bridge]

In the darkest corner of my mind

I see a boy with a crooked smile

With a crown made of tinsel

And glass beads on a wire

Singing a song out of time

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

And if I could bleed, well, so could you

[Outro]

Close your eyes

And pretend it'll go away

But you know that

You've got nothing to lose
