So this is what you wanted, When your hands are tied behind your back and so content You're a rook with no moves, Emptiness now ensues And now you will feel exactly what it was To rip away the paper mache Behind the mask it was you Behind the mask It was you
I can taste the fear as I watch the tear Drip from off of your smoothed down porcelain face Break through the chains Of dispair and pain Watch as the sun, it falls to the sea You, feeling the same Run to the ship as it sinks in the bay Now we'll do the same Until they proclaim...
And we'll descend to the bottom, Of this empty hole, That we claim is our home now Yet we still must dwell On the actions dishonored By you, burn in hell Bury all of the weakest Pray this is done now We'll slowly die We're still treating you wrong Don't make one false move You're on the edge standing still We'll bleed out the pain that's inside Bury yourself, I confess to you it says, Run down Let this all go But you didn't Now you sit
Holding your head in your hands Oh! Block out the demons inside Praying to god, but only to pretend Your ignorance is innocent Only to pretend, your innocence is pure
I will be left up on this hill, That you died upon The stars will die to see, You picked his will Oh You pushed his will on us To bind us to
I'm afraid that in footprints I've made I'll look back and I'll feel records of my mistakes Even animals leave footprints of men This time I'll hold fast to your hands As your feet Are nailed to trees
