Lyrics
Despite the oppression thoughts can still just be
With insight and reflection my mind belongs to me
Though caged and fettered
Ideas can ever
Ever run free
I need this escape to feel
I am still flesh and not some ghost
Trying to flee between the bars of our beloved host
A weight, a trial, a sentence long and cruel
A wasted time, a gap
Hypnotic trance that won't let you react
To the deception illusion, images contrived to lure and bait
You find the gift was really just a trap
I need this escape to feel
I am still flesh and not some ghost
Trying to flee between the bars of our beloved host
The music transcends of this I am sure
It weaves and dazzles for some it is a long awaited cure
Dance of joy, mourning sound
Feelings eternal that can't be bound
The product is you
The sale goes on you've little to do
No amount of begging will help or save you
The coins pass hands and the being is thrown away at last
Mad sirens wail tied to the mast
I need this escape to feel
I am still flesh and not some ghost
Trying to flee between the bars of our beloved host
I need this escape
I need this escape
Hey
