unseen behind doors closed
with blackened hearts exchange their souls
pockets lined, they sell themselves a lie
just anything to find a way to sleep at night
unclean so cast a spell on everyone
to try and cover up the smell
complete one cannot be
until fully consumed by things
we're told to believe
did they make you give it away?
life and love can be used to persuade
you've seen with your eyes closed
and hardened heart the world grow cold
won't go outside lines drawn in black and white
yet everyday good people struggle to survive
asleep we've given up control
and their misdeeds begin to take a toll
a dream this all must be
no hope to reconcile all this inhumanity
this is the moment
you have waited all your life
but you gave it away
(they gave you, they gave you away)
never attempted to run away
magic words that make
you want to stay
