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 

You give up your rights for your limitations 
And abandon all hope 
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 

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 

As you give up your rights for your limitations 
And lay down your arms 

One step further down the line as the flood begins to 
rise 
You're on your knees faking ambition 
Now close your eyes 

In the darkest corner of my mind I see a boy with a 
crooked smile 
With a crown made of tinsel and glassbeads on a wire 
Singin a song out of tune 
Now if you believe I'll bleed for you
And if I could bleed 
Well, so could you 

Close your eyes and pretend it will go away 
But you know you've got nothing to lose
