Lyrics[]
So I arrived, naked and cold
A welcome change from the abeyance of the ghost town catacomb
No need for council, I appreciate the time I'm not alone
(Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone?)
There were days, these child's eyes
Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
I left myself to navigate, and I felt control
(It seems these sheep now have quite an appetite)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage?
As we perform here, up on The Stage
As the boy became a man
In came a calm sophistication I could hardly understand
So lost in ego didn't notice when the time had slipped away
(Yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
Jesus Christ was born to die
Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
We're simply sociopaths with no communication, baby
I see your angle, but we differ from our points of view
(So tell me, what's your cross to bare?)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage?
As we perform here, up on The Stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
I believe in answers, just not today
Hope my wheels don't abandon me now
Seeing that I'm out here alone
I'm running out of fight
And the wind speaks a comforting voice
Guiding me to her arms
Mother, I'm alright
It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time
To wake up, won't you wake up
When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
Was the only solution for keeping the score
Just wake up, can't you wake up
(You do know, this is just a simulation, don’t you?)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage?
As we perform here, up on The Stage?
Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
I believe in answers, just not today
