What Lies Beneath


Down here again
They lured me back in
Stuck in their web
I'm prey to the beast within

I want to see the truth they hid from me
I want to feel, to let me finally heal
I want to break, to end this dream and wake
I can't believe, but can I ever leave?

Sunrise and birds
And life seems so swell
But I'm still trapped in
This electric hell

I want to see the truth they hid from me
I want to feel, to let me finally heal
I want to break, to end this dream and wake
I can't believe, but can I ever leave?

I've been too far all my life
(Always too cold, they can't see)
Not waving, but drowning

I want to breathe, to see what lies beneath
Without the veil the world became so frail

I thought I knew the world we built anew
I thought my heart could not be torn apart
And as my way grows darker every day
I break the chains and leave behind my strains

Lost in the sea
The life I'd adore
Goodbye, my friends
I'm floating ashore
