Lyrics

Behind the skin, what lies? true face of one's self-worth
Hellbent for our decline, no choice but stay in line
It's all we have, use that to justify
-We live for. something more

Now, this time it's bringing me round (and it's changing me) found, this time I'm facing the truth

"Shame on the man, without plans, who declined the idea to look in this motherfucking mind for it"
(You never question why.....)

It's coming back, and it's taking over
It's lost it's track and it's taking me
It lies so deep, behind your mind it sits

Designed whats in our mind, pre-programmed from ones birth lost ambitions heard over cries, we're lost but still in line
It's all we've known, use that to pacify
-We live for. something
-Yet we know. nothing

Now, this time it's tearing me down. (and it's chasing me) down, this time I'm staring the truth

(You never question why.....)
You never question why - you always just comply
Accept the compromise - like sheep you all will die

It's coming back, it's coming back, coming back again, it's right on track it's off it's track, it's back on track again, it lies so deep, this shield of sleep, behind your mind thats it

This is not the way, we are supposed to live, can you hear it's voice, the forgotten
-Behind the skin.........
