Born into obedience

In a world where nothing's free

Fill my time with time to kill

Bound to the chemistry

What you see is not what you get

What I am, can I forget?

All my senses, my defenses

Are flagged in red

The belief I'm free to choose whatever

Has brought me here, where I may lose

My dignity, an empty desert

And now it's war

I've been trapped in this illusion

Fighting to break free from the misery, from the disarray

I won't die in this seclusion

Longing for the ultimate fantasy

Born into this sick world

All alone, no one could know

Through the sticks and the stones

Bruises unable to show

The senses that have guided me to this place

Are suddenly confused by rage

The belief I'm free to choose whatever

Has brought me here, where I may lose

My dignity, an empty desert

And now it's war (Now I'll be waging a war)

I've been trapped in this illusion

Fighting to break free from the misery, from the disarray

I won't die in this seclusion

Longing for the ultimate fantasy

I've been trapped in this illusion

Fighting to break free from the misery, from the disarray

I won't die in this seclusion

Longing for the ultimate fantasy

The lines they wrote in blood

Forever bound to unspoken words

Of ties that go way back

Leaking through the cracks

The lines they wrote in blood

Forever bound to unspoken words

Of ties that go way back

Leaking through the cracks

The lines they wrote in blood

Forever bound to unspoken words

Of ties that go way back

Leaking through the cracks

My free will, just an illusion
