World Darkness

I hope this culture that we make won't be forgotten You have to know where you went wrong or is that thought pre-ordained An individual is just one who follows the rules Your soul bought off the rack Who controls what you'll be today A new commercial tomorrow Frozen in place like wax statues With all that direction you seem distorted Too many things that you want to be Manipulation is a cycle And all your lies are self absorbed Force down bile to fit the mold Once you're in it stays that way? All the power you feel still won't set you free You still think it's out of your hands Open up your eyes and see what they've made you The reflection seems crooked and weak

In the pulse all feels too steady And everything moves in sync It doesn't come from the corpse of mankind Where the heartbeat is weak Overcome by waves of doubt And the wind cuts deep My voice is so small I can't shout Lost in the drifting stares Until I wear my own And I'm drowning In the grey city The walls close in on you Or seem too thin Every shame you hide dragged into the light The words taste bitter on their lips Overcome by the waves of doubt And thewind cuts deep My voice so smallI can't shout Lost in the drifting stares Until I wear my own And I'm drowning All around the pain is on our face But we've forgot how to relate It's like underwater you breathe the best You can't recall how you should think
