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?
