[Instrumental Opening] [Verse 1] All the stitches worn Masking wicked scorn And wayward horns Charm set in thorns Their mind barren Of the attention Expected of convention From something foreign And it’s constricting The words I say Are contradicting The way I stay In charge predicting The play of day So mass addicting Cut down my arm Leaking drops still Love pain that harms That weeping thrill Every word you say Deathly heard and decay My ticking defiance Tightly bound… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Lose the binds Kept in line Freak the signs Down my spine Stand up tall Grab the fiend Let it scrawl What I dreamed And break the chains That rack my brains And kill the sound That kept me bound… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] My eyes read the screen Up and down routine Once more fifteen Again sixteen My hands press the keys Back and forth foresees Once more appease This blank disease Look over and view What was sung before Is it truly new No, not anymore And am I in control Of the time I burn Has my day been pulled In by the thoughts I yearn Stuck in latex No need for next Just leave me here With my lonesome drear It’s all I deserve For a life mired In sadness obscene By which I am bound… [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge] I cry for an escape route But peace of mind I doubt Is an expense For my defense, And this drought Of sense Is another consequence For which I’m bound… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Lose the binds Kept in line Freak the signs Down my spine Stand up tall Grab the fiend Let it scrawl What I dreamed And break the chains That rack my brains And kill the sound That kept me bound… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] I tried to tell you I begged to explain But they went right through Like a window pane If I went to leave What more could I gain If you heard me grieve Would you feel my pain It happened once And then again I’ve been so blunt But I’ll pretend That it doesn’t hurt My tact will avert The melting wire Of a tired liar Tight in rope Taught with hope Of a snap From which I’m bound… [Instrumental Bridge] [Instrumental Shift] [Outro] Maybe someday I’ll wake up From this dream That never ends And then my friends Will grab my hand And tell me then That it has end… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Lose the binds Kept in line Freak the signs Down my spine Stand up tall Grab the fiend Let it scrawl What I dreamed And break the chains That rack my brains And kill the sound That kept me bound… And kill the sound That kept me bound… And kill the sound That kept me bound… And kill the sound That kept me bound… [Instrumental Fade Out]
