You believe you’ve found validation

So you locked it in a gilded cage

Bend his will to your illusion

His movements yours, as you yank the chains

Built on the foundations

Of insecurity

It eats into your delusions

Leaving the bones of reality

(Chorus)

Spoken promises are worthless

They rush to take the weight

In fear of freedom

Trapped in the shackles of this lie

Where trust becomes abused

And love is no paradise

You believe you’ve found validation

Someone’s finally found the charm inside

An attitude in need of compensation

Beneath layers of filth you hide

Your propaganda only shows

Your insecurity

You seek to assert your happiness

This charade is plain for all to see

(Chorus)

You treat solitude

As a disability

There are more ways to find joy

No-one needs your pity

You bind all meaning

To archaic ceremony

There is more to love and life

And what makes a man worthy
