Gulag

You need a safe embrace

proven to be right

the way this touch is shielding

you cannot live without

imprisoned in its love

you're trained to be obliged

so its suffocating

kiss you can't deny

Still waters run deep

No doubt it takes some time

and pains to go so blind

you're out to fit traditions

conditioned in your mind

What you are free to do any time

you'll never do, i know your kind

as long as lies serve your comfort fine

you'll compromise

You need a fake embrace

you're trained to be a bride

for a selfish master

who boxed you for a life

you call this cage a home

but nothing's what it seems

you've dedicated yourself

to a cannibal regime

Still waters run deep

So think about the time

it took to go so blind

i call this kind of safety:

emotional gulag

What you are free to do any time

you'll never do, i know your kind

as long as lies serve your comfort fine

you'll compromise

Hatred has been tamed in me to disgust

my strength has ripened to humility
