Silence crawling under skin Static whispers pull me in Eyes wide open, still I drift Numb to every warning signal Marching in a hollow line Borrowed thoughts that feel like mine Echo chambers feed the lie Chew it up and let it thrive Bite my tongue until it bleeds Swallow doubt, suppress the need Every step I fake control While something fractures in my soul I see it, I feel it But I won’t break away I know it, I hate it Still I choose to stay Spineless sanity Choking on reality Bend until I disappear Drown inside obedient fear Spineless sanity Blind but still I see Every truth I deny Is another piece that dies Mirror shows a vacant face Compliance etched in every trace Shadows move but I stand still Paralyzed against my will Voices drilling through my head “Stay in line or end up dead” Not in body - no, in mind Kill the self, erase the spine I hear it, it’s calling But I mute the sound I feel it, it’s clawing Still I hold it down Spineless sanity Choking on reality Bend until I disappear Drown inside obedient fear Spineless sanity Blind but still I see Every truth I deny Is another piece that dies Cut - me - loose From this noose Shut - me - down Don’t make a sound Break - my - will Hold me still No - more - choice Kill the voice [Instrumental Interlude] Is this control or surrender? Am I whole or dismembered? Every second stretched thin War I never let begin I was never unaware I just chose to not care Now the silence screams loud Buried deep in the crowd Spineless sanity Now it’s consuming me Every fracture, every scar Shows me exactly what we are Spineless sanity No more clarity All the lies I complied Now I wear them inside No spine left to break No choice left to make Sanity slips away I decay… I decay…
