lyrics

Everyday it starts the same
you give it up to icons
captive in their glowing hues

Taking pains to rearrange
your daily habits stifle
but you were born here
bound to youth
so you sit...

Looking out
from this room
I see the sunlight
pouring in
broken hues
inviting me outside

But I sit
in this chair
as if my hands were tied
fixed upon
focal snares
I'm lost to this hive mind

Never free, never free
I've traded rain for clouds
never free, slowly bleed
and desperately try to untie

Everyday it starts the same
you give it up to icons
but still obstruct the blame that's due

What's the difference all the same?
they're standing here before us,
we've always needed drama to...

Pull us down
steal our crowns
surrendering birthrights
draw us into a room
where spectacles entice

Trick us with surgery
implanted with strong lies
always stitching up the wounds
to tell us we'll heal fine
