Sewn To The Flesh

Feeling like i'm trapped

try to run, can't get away

feeling like i'm damned to live a lie

feeling all these feelings

bracing for another blow

'cause life's a bitch until the day we die

Feelings are something you can't take away

you can monitor all that i do and i say

but you'll never see what lies beyond my skull

you can treat me like a refugee

an alien to my country

when you're the ones who don't belong at all

Eat

all that they say

all that we see

never to be

free

liberties lost

paving the way

communal decay

We the people pay

those of us who will betray

while the people wallow in decay

the recipe for anarchy

a battle hymn for you and me

the mixing pot begins to churn

and burn humanity

Reason is something you refuse to learn

while squalor wins out with an extended term

and you're padding your life with blood another man's dreams

we, the human stepping stones

prey for change, until we're bones

have had enough of faux diplomacy

Life

wasting away

wasting your choice

chaining your voice

All

liberties lost

paving the way

communal decay

Covered in an ichor

of oportunistic greed

the lamb's led to the slaughter

we the lamb's on which they feed

Without us they'd be nothing

without them, we'd be free

from idealistic scruples

and oppressive calumny

Those in control have lost control

the people left to pay the toll

when getting by's impossible

we all share this decay

Crowning clowns in hand me downs

yet no one seems to be around

when sirens screaming anarchy

survive another day

The hand that feeds is now the hand

that bleeds a country dry

the men in suits, the men in black

they share the same disguise

Dare we ask them questions?

they bring the hammer down

we never get the answers

and our body's never found
