A beast harboured to the ocean floor currents of blood flowing through burst veins
Cold metal on my apartment floor eyes begging to be saved
The soul the spirit can take no more it's had enough of trying to tame
The mind a dome a fragile flower stem easily crushed and drove insane
Yet one driven can realise they are without wings and innovate and fly a plane
The power taken and used a leash on the world a rose by any other name
The sun is forever a year a sphere yet the moon in it's cocoon takes weeks to wane
A lion without a mane dark cloud without rain a werewolf choking on wolfsbane
This world is crumbling yet the passengers of this ride still hurl themselves in front of the train
Cherry blossoms bloom as the ronin moves with nothing to lose
We are our own master rip off our own plaster casts and rip the mast faster
A mad man stuck in the past like a jester yet no one's laughing don't let them catch you
Cause they don't let go sinking their teeth in and like your bones are bars of a zoo
The animals here are wild and fear is the intoxicating smell that oozes from those who
Accept that bravery is yet another mask to add to the mime the man with a watch but so little time
The girl on the street yes the one who stood still for so long she can't even feel her feet
Since her thoughts stopped roaming the ronin started to hide inside her mind and rewind her life
She's living backwards through the strife and the sorrow living the today after the tomorrow
Feeling hollow black inscribed on her bone marrow being picked off by a sparrow
They say they go for the eyes the window to the soul is just a mirror haven't you realised
We are what we eat and right now we're swallowing words and eating up lies
Stuffing our faces with placebos and dummies and decoys that play coy
And dress up like kids toys on a monday morning and broadcast more nonsense noise
Channel 1 Channel 2 Channel 3 all washing your brain and wiping your mind
Leaving all imagination behind and when they're done have the nerve to ask if you'd like to leave a tip behind
"No I wouldn't mind" yeah of course not you wouldn't
Can't can should hell no you shouldn't try and be funny
Be serious and say nothing it'll get you through life and it'll get you money but the things you really want
The ones lurking around in the corners of your mind watching the intruder stalk making no sound
Yeah they're the ones you should aim at with your crossbow not still going slow
Moping around year after year until it's your time to go
And then oh no you're run out of time dumbo, no time for last words and regrets this boat ain't gonna row itself
So next time you're sitting and wishing thinking I'm so bored I can't even STOP
You think you're trapped and helpless you're not
Get up get out and and try something new for a change and help someone out somebody in pain
Cause one day that could be you thanking your stars that someone was out there to help you too...
