Lyrics

[Intro]
Lost in the outline
A leper in your mind
[Verse 1]
Betrayal spewing from behind your teeth
Exiled, denial suppressing memories
You preach, and all I hear is serpent speech
Misguiding all you touch
Misleading all who seek
[Chorus]
Never escape from this maze
We are all circling
Cover your eyes, follow the blind
You will not break from these walls
Absent after all
Absent after all
Hostage to our downfall
[Verse 2]
Broken
Born to be broken
Bent to their will
Loathing what the world took away
Broken
Corrupted mind cracks
The shell of the heart
[Verse 3]
We all play the part
We all fall apart
Cast the weightless stones
The solemn curse of man
Plagued by all you can conceive
Unchanged in what I am
[Chorus]
Never escape from this maze
We are all circling
Cover your eyes, follow the blind
You will not break from these walls
Absent after all
Absent after all
Hostage to our downfall
[Bridge]
Pull the strings
Let it all unravel
Cut the cord
This life will bleed you fucking dry
Bleed you fucking dry
Lost in the outline
A leper by design
Lost in the outline
A leper by design
[Chorus]
Never escape from this maze
We are all circling
Cover your eyes, follow the blind
You will not break from these walls
Absent after all
Absent after all
Hostage to our downfall
Never escape from this maze, we are all circling
Cover your eyes, follow the blind
You will not break from these walls
Absent after all
Absent after all
Hostage to our downfall
[Outro]
Cut the cord
This life will bleed you dry
