Bilingual
Like the ones who came before me
I was raised to pretend
That the creature smiling over me
Was not a freak... but a friend
All my life I never compromised
Never waited for the signs
Arms held to the sky
And like the ones who came before me
I devised
A way to stay alive
Mesmerized
By the cons I have emphasized
Choosing sides is a safe disguise
Clothing lies
In an army of improvised designs
They'll never find
All my time is spent connecting lines
Building ties to what's inside
To evade the shackled mind
And unlike the ones who came before me
I'm resigned
To open up my eyes
Couldn't believe it
Never did see any point
In taking the path
Of most resistance
And they warned us
To never let go
Said we'd lose control
Without their straight and narrow
Oooooh
But the fire of wisdom
Has nearly gone out
The freedom of knowledge
Has yielded to doubt
The flame has begun to decay
Lost
In their home
Pawns
All too shackled to roam
Nothing's left on the surface
That's what they'd have us believe
Even wisdom is worthless
They can't hide it from me
When my thoughts are realigned
And with my conscience redesigned
I'll return
And redefine
Taken
For granted
Taken for everything we have
Your calling is caring
Your cunning is daring
You could have
Saved us
Saved us
Fearful believers
The foundation of your flock
All cadence is lost
On those won't talk
At rest with a padlock on their hearts
Lost
In their homes
Pawns
All too shackled to roam
Nothing's left on the surface
That's what they'd have us believe
Even wisdom is worthless
They can't hide it from me
When my thoughts are realigned
And with my conscience redesigned
I'll return
And redefine
In our haven
In our home
We escaped from the cares of the world
It was safe then
And controlled
A sanctum for modern-day souls
No enemy
No failures to grieve
No need to be
Free when you believe
Safe and sound
Underground
Live fearless of the sky
Set loose my wandering eye
When indoctrination's given
What's free thought
But a method to ensure
You've heard what's taught
Still something deep
Some menacing doubt
Keeps telling me
You have to get out
Safe and sound
Underground
Live fearless of the sky
Set loose my wandering eye
Return
This is the only place
You're meant to be
And you wouldn't dare
To break our hearts
(We raised you right)
This is the source of your eternity (We gave you life)
(We showed you)
God knows
We've all been led wrong
(We raised you right)
But This is the only place (We gave you life)
You're meant to be
(We showed you)
Your true eternity
Crawling from a darkened space
At first we catch the light
As it burns
As it etches
Its own image in our minds
This flame
Engraved
Sprawling
Out before us
Immense with heavy sight
In our weakened desperation
We shelter back inside
This flame
Remains
Engraved
Enslaved
This flame
As we stand on the surface
Nothing is what we believed
No evil to burn us
And we're finally free
These chains fall at our side
And with our arms toward the sky
We cry -
Now my thoughts are realigned
And with my conscience redesigned
I will cry - Redefine
When I'm with you
All else seems to pass to the side
And I notice
A weight lifts and I feel alive
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
Saved and sound
