Painting a life In the dullest shade Got your sterile decor And you got it made A cheap print hangs on the wall Jerk at the chain, embrace the wrecking ball Rags are pressed with starched precision The soul is lost, a life is taken Escape from the human race Disappear without a trace Escape from the circus Disappear beneath the surface Try to keep up with the Jones' Seeking approval of your owners A blunt edge eroding the chic Living to outdo the dim-witted clique Escape from the human race Disappear without a trace Escape from the charade Slip into ether and fade Dull hues depict a vacant soul A tired old wench but still in control A simpleton boy rides the gravy train Keep him on a leash, plot out the pain Escape from the human race Disappear without a trace Escape from the charade Slip into ether and fade Escape from the human race Disappear without a trace Escape from the circus Disappear beneath the surface
