once again in a world of my own
with nothing left to do
everything looks different now
reality is seeping through
there are those who want to
tear me down
to turn me into them
I've tried so hard but it's been so long
it's happening again
.this is the world you live in
.consumed by lust and love and hate
.restrain and try not to give in
.and pray that it's not too late
.this is the world you live in
.you're eaten to the core by fear
.restrain and try not to give in
.hide behind the masks you wear
struggle in this world of your own
knowing there's no way to escape the truth
everything tastes bitter now
nothing is fresh and nothing is new
there are those who want to make you theirs
to make you one of the herd
my only defense is that I've never cared
my screams go unheard
(my greed my fear my tears won't come
they've dried in the sockets I've come undone)
