Lost in Illusion - Barrier

Inertia

I feel your iron grip take hold of me

This ego yearns for sovereignty

Sign after sign passing me by

(Not for me, not for me, I’ve got someone to be)

With a voice inside my head that says I’m living a lie

(Look away, look away, there’s just too much to see)

I cling tightly to my selfish needs

Blinded in this matrix of my programmed beliefs

I’m imprisoned

By conceptualization of thought

Separating myself from the whole

Warden, oh warden

Where have you left the key

To free myself

From this bitter, lonly reality?

A self-constructed cll

A self-constructed Hell

Sign after sign passing me by

(Not for me, not for me, I’ve got someone to be)

With a voice inside my head that says I’m living a lie

(Look away, look away, there’s just too much to see)

Everything so meaningless, my personal fiction

Terminally drifting here in my world of endless contradiction

Inertia

I feel your iron grip take hold of me, this ego

Yearns — for sovereignty

Disconnected

Yet I feel right at home

Alone inside, so alone

I’m tearing at these walls that surround me

Something’s got to break

Holding on for redemption, for some holy escape

Some kind of light at the end of the tunnel

Whatever it might be

I can feel it calling me, so warden

Where have you left the key?
