[Instrumental Intro – 00:00-02:17]
[Verse 1: George Margaritopoulos]
Gracious slumber giving way to
Colors, scents and sounds familiar
Feeling battered yet continue
A change of pace long overdue
Feeding wheels
Head over heels
The water's rising on the inside
Night to day and day to pain
A camouflaged usurper's reign
[Pre-Chorus: George Margaritopoulos]
Enigmatic simplicity
A million veils of reality
Enigmatic simplicity
A million veils of reality
[Chorus: George Margaritopoulos]
What is life?
A gift a curse a travesty?
A mind that's spinning round and round
A beacon on a burial mound
What is life?
A gift a curse a travesty?
Stuck inside the rabbit's hole
Set adrift a dream
Control
[Verse 2: George Margaritopoulos]
Obligations, duties, urges
Circadian rat race
Dull and faint
Entangled tightly, tell me how
Can we endure this
Perpetual strain
[Verse 3: Andrew Huskey]
Run, malice, run!
Escape the cradle
Your inner Babel
Finding shelter
Within yourself
A journey inwards
A task afield
A path to follow
A place concealed
To break the chains we disavow
[Pre-Chrorus: George Margaritopoulos]
Enigmatic complexity
A billion veils of reality
Enigmatic complexity
A billion veils of reality
[Chorus: George Margaritopoulos]
What is life?
Your gift your curse your travesty?
A mind that's spinning round and round
A beacon on a burial mound
What is life?
Your gift your curse your travesty?
Stuck inside the rabbit's hole
Set adrift a dream
Control
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Andrew Huskey]
Bruised and wounded
Bent and broke
Paralyzed by fear of life
Too blind to see
The you in me
Spoiled and nurtured
Well acclaimed
A gorgeous mask
The me in you
Finding old when craving new
[Chorus: George Margaritopoulos]
What is life?
My gift my curse my travesty?
A mind that's spinning round and round
A vessel stranded underground
What is life?
My gift my curse my travesty?
Falling down the rabbits hole
A dream a nightmare
Lose control
What is life?
Our gift our curse our travesty?
Minds go spinning round and round
A beacon on a burial mound
What is life?
Our gift our curse our fallacy?
Crawling down the rabbit's hole
A distant mountain to behold
