lyrics

I never thought I'd see the day where my mind would be my own asylum blowing my cover and dropping my guard.
This discipline fosters a name today, and it's wrapped with a ribbon for display.
How can you say that it's better this way?

Where are we? How did we get here?
What is this place? Manifestations of my greatest fears.

Oh, I've fallen for every word you fed to me with malicious intent.
You've dragged me here in fear.

I don't believe what I'm seeing here.
These visions must be from the heat.
Maybe I'm caught in a dream.
Don't let me sleep.

They say that every man is an island, so this must be my life.

Well I hoped & I hoped that you'd give me the outlines and I'd fill them in.
But I'm paralyzed by fear.
I hope & I pray that you'll save me the trouble of building this place,
Because I can't control my mind.

Where are we? How did we get here?
What is this place? Manifestations of my greatest fears.
Awaken me, take me from here.
This is your home, and justly it's anything I could have dreamed.

They say that every man is an island, so this must be my life.
While dreaming, I could say that I'm living but this just isn't real.

I run through yellow fields.
