Deeper inside
The foundations of thought
Suppressed ideas
Find their feet in the sand
But still with no caution
The door will always shut behind me
My head in the sand
My hands behind your back
My future's been assigned
I'm fixing to survive
Come join me inside my mind
See the walls that hold me in
Captivity
Here's to the last of us to pretend
Captivity
Is a state on which we need
To depend
To find and finally understand ourselves
Behind bars and closed eyes
I'm lost in the fold
Sold out to be drawn from the black
Rip skin from skin
For the plague is back
Colourless bars a code
Stretched across your skin
In captivity
Here's to the last of us to pretend
Captivity
Is a state on which we need
To depend
To find and finally understand ourselves
Behind bars and closed eyes
