Born into obedience In a world where nothing's free Fill my time with time to kill Bound to the chemistry What you see is not what you get What I am, can I forget? All my senses, my defenses Are flagged in red The belief I'm free to choose whatever Has brought me here, where I may lose My dignity, an empty desert And now it's war I've been trapped in this illusion Fighting to break free from the misery, from the disarray I won't die in this seclusion Longing for the ultimate fantasy Born into this sick world All alone, no one could know Through the sticks and the stones Bruises unable to show The senses that have guided me to this place Are suddenly confused by rage The belief I'm free to choose whatever Has brought me here, where I may lose My dignity, an empty desert And now it's war (Now I'll be waging a war) I've been trapped in this illusion Fighting to break free from the misery, from the disarray I won't die in this seclusion Longing for the ultimate fantasy I've been trapped in this illusion Fighting to break free from the misery, from the disarray I won't die in this seclusion Longing for the ultimate fantasy The lines they wrote in blood Forever bound to unspoken words Of ties that go way back Leaking through the cracks The lines they wrote in blood Forever bound to unspoken words Of ties that go way back Leaking through the cracks The lines they wrote in blood Forever bound to unspoken words Of ties that go way back Leaking through the cracks My free will, just an illusion
