lyrics

Time will wash us all away.
You're trapped in yours and I in mine.
Salient pictures, an intrinsic mixture.
The liquor of the fool drunk deep.
What a sick sadistic game.
Rules changing every time we play.
Unholy scripture, no rigid stricture,
Endless cacophony of blame.

When I've lost my every love, and I'm nothing else but need,
When convictions fall apart, will I still be considered me?
Am I what's inside my heart, or does it only make me bleed?
Will my head be filled with thoughts so dark that I no longer see?

Are we the shepherd or the flock?
Are "they" just "them" or can "us" be "we"?
Is there a plan for all? Was it abstracted by a siren's call?
A mass of conflicting beliefs.
Where does your faith really lie?
The lines on the ground or the ghost in the sky?
If ignorance brings bliss, does truth bring imprisonment?
How the fuck can you say "I'm free"?

When I've found my only love, and there's nothing else I need,
With convictions standing firm, Will I still be considered me?
Am I what's inside my mind, or does it only let me think?
Will my heart be filled with love so bright that I no longer see?

Freedom has always been the illusion.
There always comes a price to pay.
Compassion's wasted, while violence is hastened.
Humanity has lost it's way.
