World Darkness

I hope this culture that we make won't be forgotten <br/> You have to know where you went wrong <br/> or is that thought pre-ordained <br/> An individual is just one who follows the rules <br/> <br/> Your soul bought off the rack <br/> Who controls what you'll be today <br/> A new commercial tomorrow <br/> Frozen in place like wax statues <br/> <br/> With all that direction you seem distorted <br/> Too many things that you want to be <br/> Manipulation is a cycle <br/> And all your lies are self absorbed <br/> <br/> Force down bile to fit the mold <br/> Once you're in it stays that way? <br/> All the power you feel still won't set you free <br/> <br/> You still think it's out of your hands <br/> Open up your eyes and see what they've made you <br/> The reflection seems crooked and weak

In the pulse all feels too steady <br/> And everything moves in sync <br/> It doesn't come from the corpse of mankind <br/> Where the heartbeat is weak <br/> <br/> Overcome by waves of doubt <br/> And the wind cuts deep <br/> My voice is so small I can't shout <br/> Lost in the drifting stares <br/> Until I wear my own <br/> And I'm drowning <br/> <br/> In the grey city <br/> The walls close in on you <br/> Or seem too thin <br/> Every shame you hide dragged into the light <br/> The words taste bitter on their lips <br/> <br/> Overcome by the waves of doubt <br/> And thewind cuts deep <br/> My voice so smallI can't shout <br/> Lost in the drifting stares <br/> Until I wear my own <br/> And I'm drowning <br/> <br/> All around the pain is on our face <br/> But we've forgot how to relate <br/> It's like underwater you breathe the best <br/> You can't recall how you should think
