WORDS OF COMFORT COME AND GO

BUT THEY DON'T ALWAYS CURE

THE WORLD'S NOT ENDING SO THEY SAY

THESE DAYS YOU CAN'T BE SURE

STANDING ON THE OUTER EDGE

AND WATCHING FROM OUTSIDE

NO ONE HERE INVITED ME

AND NO ONE EVEN TRIED

LIVING IN THE SHADOWS

CANNOT REACH THE LIGHT

LIVING IN THE SHADOWS

ACTING LIKE YOU'RE FOOLING ME

BY DROWNING IN EXCESS

I KNOW THAT YOU AREN'T FREE

YOU'RE REALLY JUST A MESS

EVERYONE THAT PASSES ME

IS BORN WITHOUT A FACE

EMPTY EYES WITHOUT A MIND

THEIR SOULS HAVE BEEN ERASED

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY

THE MINDS OF MAN HAVE TORN AND FRAYED

CHASING AROUND WHAT THEY CAN'T SEE

SOMETHING THEY COULD NEVER BE

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED

YOU MUST TRY AGAIN

I'VE DONE ALL I EVER COULD

THE LOSER ALWAYS WINS

IT'S TIME TO STEP FROM THE DARK

I'M RATTLING YOUR CAGE

IMPRISONMENT YOU HAVE MADE

YOUR LIFE HAS ALL BEEN STAGED
