What is one to do when no one takes you by the hand This nervous condition Shadows play across the wall In certain lights I can see a different shade The pattern crawls The pattern calls Why must I be the one that has to suffocate Why must I linger Every moment filled with Lies, remove the lies Lies, see the lies Beyond the lies The truth is written in her face A formless figure At the edge of vision Skulking, hiding In this solemn, sleepy place A lurid orange A sickly sulphur tint Why must I stay Everything's a mystery Mental chains Every moment filled with Lies, remove the lies Lies, see the lies Behind the pattern the shapes grow clearer every day It's like a bad dream She is standing on the road Shake the bars Shake it hard in the moonlight Yellow walls Soon I will break out Unblinking eyes Follow every move I make She advances' Every moment filled with Lies, see through the lies Lies, see the lies Everything will be OK Every wall will decay
