Fear of the Unknown

The Unknowing

[ It's opening time
Seal your heart to mine
I want to feel configurations
Of an open-heart sensation
So swim in my eyes
Drown in silent cries
My curious condition
Is close enough to listen to your sighs ] 

[ If it's love, when will it decay?
Is it love, or an open grave?
Exposed to fate
An open grave, with a red-stained frame ] 

[ If it's love, when will it decay?
Is it love, or an open grave?
Exposed to fate
Words got in the way
But actions told us to stay
Now here we lay
In an open grave ]

Open Grave

[ If what you hear is what you fear
There ain't no coming back
Your cognitive dissonance
Prevents you from listening
If what you hear is what you fear
There ain't no coming back
Your cognitive dissonance
Prevents you from listening ]

[ Contradictions
They live inside your head
Staunch convictions
Must be put to rest ]

[ If what you hear is what you fear
Don't ever make a sound
The silence must be deafening
When someone else does the talking
If what you hear is what you fear
Don't ever make a sound
Your cognitive dissonance
It complements your ignorance ] 

[ Mother Nature
Comes to collect her debt
Your religion
Seems to have overstepped
Repent ] 

[ If what you hear is what you fear
There ain't no coming back
Your cognitive dissonance
Prevents you from listening
If what you hear is what you fear
There ain't no coming back
Your cognitive dissonance
It complements your ignorance ]

Cognitive Dissonance

[ Answering the shadow's call
Before I've gone and lost it all
I write my name across the wall
Cast a light upon my throne
You won't find me casting stones
I'm to blame for what I know ] 

[ 'Cause I would die for you
I would lie for you
But I won't change for you
I'm here to face the truth
When nostalgia takes control
And I'm held accountable
For repeating all my faults
I will take the fall ] 

[ Answering the shadow's call
Before I've gone and lost it all
I write my name across the wall
Cast a light upon my throne
You won't find me casting stones
I'm to blame for what I know ] 

[ Wake up and smell the ashes
Falling from my throne
Burning down to bone
Suffering for lust
I had my reservations
but I never thought to try
To snuff the candlelight
So I will take the fall
I will take the fall 
I will take the fall ] 

[ Answering the shadow's call
Before I've gone and lost it all
I write my name across the wall, oh
A knock, I do fear
Means judgement is here
The Garden of Eden never seemed so clear
A king with no crown
Through ups and the down
Thought we had it all
'Till you let me take the fall ]

[ Like a moth to a flame
A knife to my veins
Thought we had it all
But you let me take the fall ]

The Fall

[ They don't want you to see
The lies behind their fake hospitality
Innocence was a commodity 
The promises sold told us we would become free ]

[ That's why I walk the line, I walk the line
The dividing line, of defining times
I walk the line, I walk the line
Our deafening cries, they defy their lies
So one more time, I’ll walk the line ]

[ What a joke that we were sold
A silver spoon - they shoved it down our throats
When we were fed, the handle broke 
Now a dose of false hope festers through our homes ]

[ That's why I walk the line, I walk the line
The dividing line, of defining times
I walk the line, I walk the line
Our deafening cries, they defy their lies
So one more time, I’ll walk the line ]

[ If you bite the hand that feeds you well
You'll have to find new ways to feed yourself 
Let the animal thrive out of its shell 
And walk between the lines of the life you're dealt
If you bite the hand that reaches out
You'll have to find new ways of breaking down 
Let the animal thrive out of its cage 
And navigate the lines that become depraved
If you bite the hand that feeds you well
You'll have to find new ways to feed yourself 
Let the animal thrive out of its home 
And build a house of cards that'll free your soul ]

[ That's why I walk the line
The dividing line, of defining times
I walk the line, I walk the line
Our deafening cries, they defy their lies ]
