Kill the lights, it's time to hide
To hold your breath and stay inside
Close the blinds and settle down
Then wallow in your tears and drown
Blinded though you still can see
Cursed by mediocrity
Shutting off, afraid they know
All hooked up, with nowhere to go

Defiance, reliance
Stand in the shadows of the ones who fed you
Who bled you
Cry but do not make a sound
You don't want them around
So silent, so violent

Take it in and hide the night
And know there is no end in sight
Cower there until the dawn
And pray to hell they're fucking gone
So give it up for the fatal dreams
The butchured thoughts and the violent screams
Sit and stare as they go to town
And wait with me for the big come down

Defiance, reliance
Stand in the shadows of the ones who fed you
Who bled you
Cry but do not make a sound
You don't want them around
So silent, so violent

Defiance, reliance
Stand in the shadows of the ones who fed you
Who bled you
Cry but do not make a sound
You don't want them around
So silent, so violent
