[Intro]
This is the reason why I can't sleep tonight
They're killing on my left, dying on my right

[Verse 1]
Everywhere I look fills me with fear
Beliefs I once had become so unclear
I dare to rub out the lines, draw from a new idea
But I'm stuck in this prison
Stuck in this prison
No one can help me break free
Born sick, commanded to be well
Stuck in a losing struggle
It's a dark existence, meaningless and cold
Impossible to escape from

[Verse 2]
Trapped inside this fist of rage
Held down by the hand that made me
There's no escape
While the shepherds block the gates
Now do I qualify for survival
I don't fear death like an American idol
Are we the ones that have to bleed?
What luck that we don't think

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent screams, who wants to testify
Instinctively we try to hide
And breathlessly I hope, I hope to re-design
How I think amongst all these painted smiles

[Chorus]
Nothing is set in stone
We fuel the machine that feeds off the death of our own
Nothing is what it seems
We follow the trend that keeps us in time; what is real?
Nothing is set in stone
We fuel the machine thats feeds off the death of our own

[Verse 3]
Straight away I won't hesitate to call you out
Straight away I can see that you're all afraid
It's time to make up your own mind
It's time to be yourselves
Rectify beliefs
I won't be held down by the hand that made me
