glad to see your wide awake 
this is the great escape 
from a life that tried to mould you
and the lie it sold you 

what would you do? 
what wouldn't you do? 
what would you do? 
what wouldn't you do? 
what would you do? 
what wouldn't you do? 

did you try to reason why 
look yourself in the eye 
what you are is all you have been 
what will be is all you do now

what would you do? 
what wouldn't you do? 
what would you do? 
what wouldn't you do? 
what would you do? 
what wouldn't you do?

spill a tear as your sense of self slowly 
melts away 
melts away 
melts away 

until death's mirror reflects 
the meaning of our lives 
we wander aimless and mesmerised 
as the fear starts to rise.

''Can you rely on the safety of a system?
Those masochistic [bad word] deep into your soul, tearing through years of subconscious defences.
In a split second the foundations for a peaceful fulfilling life can be blasted away to the four corners of reality,
almost as if it were an act of a [bad word] evil god.''
