Was it all a dream?
Bringing home the shadows in the dark
Attractions in a lost amusement park
Again
Ghosts in the machine
Contored spirits in their moving graves
Young futures that will never be the same
Again
For how long
Must this go on?
Round round on a carousel
Blood on the conveyor belt
Lost souls
Away from home
Destroy the nightmares by design
Welcome back this time to
[Chorus]
Break the cycle
Come follow me
I'll cut the strings 'cause you
Are not a puppet
Break the cycle
You can be free
Your time is through
Break break break break
Break it down today
Tear the pieces up and burn the shreds
Lay to rest the circus of the dead
The end
It was a mistake in time
But there's no turning back the clock and
Now it's me who has to be one to stop it
How long
Must they roam?
With instincts they don't understand
Old lives they dance to forget
Lost souls
Away from home
Destroy the nightmares by design
Welcome back this time to
Break the cycle
[Chorus]
Break the cycle
Come follow me
I'll cut the strings 'cause you
Are not a puppet
Break the cycle
You can be free
Your time is through
Break break break break
Break it down today
Break the cycle
Toil and toil and toil build the maze
Where daddy's little monsters await
Chasing voices not seeing the flames
That grow to free their souls from their chains
Break the cycle
Goodbye
Break break break break
The cycle
[Chorus]
Break the cycle
Come follow me
I'll cut the strings 'cause you
Are not a puppet
Break the cycle
You can be free
Your time is through
Break break break break
Break it down today
