Untried and untested
One fits nowhere but here in anonymity
There is no birthright
No innate guidance
No direction or destination is handed down
Shackles are the one thing free for all

Shackles are the one thing free for all
Shackles are the one thing free for all
Shackles are the one thing free for all
Shackles are the one thing free for all
Shackles are the one thing free for all

Dead ends and dead lives abound here
And failure obscures all but the immediate
Sweet dreams
Fall from reach here

Fade from existence
Fade from sight

Yeah!

They merge with the black in decay and neglect
Fade from sight
They merge with the black in decay and neglect
The surroundings here are sparse and desolate
And life here is grief
Life here is grief
Is grief
But the path leading here is short and simple
It is so like these aspirations
But the path leading here is short and simple
It is so like these aspirations
But the path leading here is short and simple
It is so like these aspirations

There's a better way, that we've made
We can all make this change
There's a better way

There's a better way, that we have made
We can all make this change
There's a better way

Better ways
And better times
Are bitter memories
And better times
Are bitter memories
Lost lives live here
Without inspiration or desire
Here is the lowest of places
But do not despair
But do not despair
