[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
