once again in a world of my own
with nothing left to do
everything looks different now
reality is seeping through

there are those who want to 
tear me down
to turn me into them
I've tried so hard but it's been so long
it's happening again

.this is the world you live in
.consumed by lust and love and hate
.restrain and try not to give in
.and pray that it's not too late
.this is the world you live in
.you're eaten to the core by fear
.restrain and try not to give in
.hide behind the masks you wear
 [bad word] in this world of your own
knowing there's no way to escape the [bad word] everything tastes bitter now
nothing is fresh and nothing is new
there are those who want to make you theirs
to make you one of the herd
my only defense is that I've never cared
my screams go unheard

(my greed my fear my tears [bad word] they've dried in the sockets [bad word] undone)
