waiting in the calm of desolation
wanting to break from this circle of confusion
how can i feel abandoned, even when the world surrounds me?
how can i bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?
how can i know so many, never really knowing anyone?
if i seem superhuman i have been misunderstood
it challenges the essence of my soul
leaves me in a state of disconnection
as i navigate the maze of self-control
playing while im being led to a cage
i turn from a thief to a beggar, from a god to - god, save me
how can i feel abandoned, even when the world surrounds me?
how can i bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?
how can i know so many, never really knowing anyone?
if i seem superhuman i have been misunderstood
misunderstood ...
playing a lion being led to a cage
i turn from subreal to seclusion, from love to disdain
from a life to illusion, from a thief to a beggar, from a god to -
god, save me
how can i feel abandoned, even when the world surrounds me?
how can i bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me?
how can i know so many, never really knowing anyone?
if i seem superhuman i have been misunderstood
misunderstood ...
				

hear me, speaking
asking why even bother
telling me, how you
live from day to day
take your time and look around
is this utopia you found?
sick of all of this
the suffering and regence carrying on
is it a time we care and lose the hate
understand the fears
but we do all that we can
justify the means to mend
sorry you must excuse me
i painted my own mona lisa
she's fixed everything
now i'm spolied beyond my wildest dreams
blind faith we have you
invisible
which direction do we choose?
predictable
take the streets
the beaten path
the system works for whom i ask
you have it all, a bigger house
my advance to keep you out
when did we all let you down?
so come messiah show us now
out here the spirit drowns
what is it you hope to see
blind faith we have you
invisible
which direction do we take
predictable
where there is something in commune
desirable
come, you've done all you can do
regretable
and still life pushes on
with or without you
we've got to carry on
our will, will guide us to
a place where we belong
nowhere lies the truth
i am ??????
?????? brought the son to you
i don't think we let you down
so come messiah i'll show us down now
throw a secure lifeline,
i hope that you hear me, too.
im proud to be around,
there's more to us than we see now.
blind faith we have in you..
invisible
misdirection that we choose
predictable
selling ones abused?????
desirable
cause you've done all that you can do
regretable.
				

he seemed no different from the rest
just a healthy normal boy
his momma always did her best
and he was daddy's pride and joy
he learned to walk and talk on time
but never cared much to be held
and steadily he worked to climb
into his solitary shell
as a boy he was considered somewhat odd
kept to himself most of the time
he would daydream in and out of his own world
but in every other way he was fine
he's a monday morning lunatic
disturbed from time to time
lost within himself
in his solitary shell
temporary, katatonic
madman on occasion
when will he break out
of his solitary shell
he struggled to get through his day
he was helplessly behind
he poured himself onto the page
writing for hours at a time
as a man he was a danger to himself
fearful and sad most of the time
he was drifting in and out of sanity
but in every other way he was fine
he's a monday morning lunatic
disturbed from time to time
lost within himself
in his solitary shell
a momentary maniac
with casual delusions
when will he be let out of his
solitary shell
				

standing in the darkness
waiting for the light
smell of pure adrenaline
burning in the night
rain and blinding flashes
aiming at the stage
intro taking is to rome
tonight it's sonic rage
still the cage made between these hollow walls
hoping to find in me the answers to
the test that stumped them all
the boy is just simply crazy
he has all these delusions
we honestly think that maybe
he might need an institution
he lives in a world of fiction
i'm afraid he could use some help
we've just got the place to fix him
save him from himself
curled up in the darkness
searching for the light
the smell of pure stale sweat and shit
steaming in the night
random urine testing
pills - red, pink and blue
counseling and therapy
finding not a clue
they will gate made between these hollow walls.
hoping for to find in me the answers to
the test that stumped them all
we've come here to find the answers
looking for a clue in the case
we just cannot just let him live here
and put all this work to waste
why don't we try shock treatments?
i figured he could use some help
we have just the tools to fix him
save him from himself
