Velvet Dawn - Images in Crimson Lyrics


If being forced to exhale is the only way to breathe

why are you led so blindly

Your Lips they decieve me

Speaking untainted origins

while you stand before me uniform

Individuality emphasized through uniformity

Mirrors that can't be faced

Without dictating to you

A system of false standards and moral immorality

Distracted while the axe is sharpened

The narrow guidelines are your guillotine

Brainwashed victims of a society

Based on fashion claiming originality

Brainwashed victims of conformity

There is no such shepard

There's no such love

Only sheep led by wolves to slaughter

And if your so blind as not to see

You're sharpening a knife

You will cease being

And when you bear these marks of the instilled fear

you are bound to suffer the fate of the flock

you bear these marks, you wear these scars

you are the fascists

Striving for empty hearts and empty minds

Knowing only one thing

It's better to be alive because you're dead inside

And the wool will be much softer, when it's crimson in color

No longer will I watch face in hand

Those fall to fashion

Those fall to fascism

repressing creativity

You think you're fucking free

Think again, you're a slave to yourself

you're a slave to fashion
