Lyrics
VERSE 1 Its an illusion this life Your starving if you don’t obey You’ll go hungry if you don’t work today No answers this time Bullied to silence your open mind CHORUS Now you're the guard and the prisoner So how do we escape? You’re the anchor and the sail Is the future just our fate? Are we advancing toward a place That only seals our fate Is this life ?, Or is it too late ? VERSE 2 They dangle your dreams Just out of reach But close enough to taste, and touch and feel They benefit from your chaos They thrive on your demise Its in their nature to haunt you And subjugate on lies CHORUS Now you're the guard and the prisoner So how do we escape? You’re the anchor and the sail Is the future just our fate? Are we advancing toward a place That only seals our fate Is this life ?, Or is it too late ? VERSE 3 Manipulatinon Sleep in a bed of lies Can dishonesty tell the truth When its so Disguised They change the meaning of the words You’ve known all your life In less than a day They suit the story of the times CHORUS Till you're the guard and the prisoner So how do we escape? You’re the anchor and the sail Is the future just our fate? Are we advancing toward a place That only seals our fate Is this life ?, Or is it too late ? OUTRO is it too late to change my mind, I think about it all the time is it too late? This don't make sense anymore they told us everything it's good for is it too late?
