Crossed Fingers

Everywhere I see sleepwalkers
Stuck in their own little worlds
As we tighten the rope
We choke on what's left of our hope
Swinging left and right on that noose
Everything to lose
They're the ones who kick the chairs
and you think they'd make this fair?
I can't see clear in this world of fear
False prophets spreading their half-truths
False shepherds feeding us poison
Crossed fingers hidden behind their backs
We'll finish what we started
Floor by floor, brick by brick
Until we realize what we've done
We built them a prison for us
Cause we can't handle freedom
They're the ones who lock the gates
And you think they'd make this fair?
I will head the other way
Even if it means walking alone
I will swim against the current
Even if it means drowning alone
I can't see clear in this world of fear
False prophets spreading their half-truths
False shepherds feeding us poison
Crossed fingers hidden behind their backs

Twist the Knife

As time becomes my burden
Far from my hopes and dreams
I realize misery brings comfort
Comfort brings ignorance
I gave up, I'm left undone
Bought their vision
Didn't put up a fight
But I twist the knife
(I) Try to understand what I've become
Realised there's no outcome
I wasn't made for this
I didn't want to be part of this
Twist the knife - Engrave my soul
Twist the knife - So I remember
Twist the knife - Until I break
Twist the knife - Until I go cold
TWIST THE KNIFE - Engrave my soul
TWIST THE KNIFE - So I remember
TWIST THE KNIFE - Until I break
TWIST THE KNIFE - Until I go cold x2
The beat goes on
Time gets slower and slower
From knees to waist
Quicksands take their toll
