When the colors make you blind
The intoxicating high
When you break and compromise
And your wings are paralyzed
In the towers of your mind
You are so one-of-a-kind
Till your circumstances bind
And you fall back into line
Illusion of control
Shatter the fragile
Illusion of control
Like glass we shatter
You walk the Earth a god
Seduction of the stars
So bitter and insatiable
Is the heart of a man
Can you even stand to face your world
With a steady hand?
You can only run so far ahead
(Fear is a dead end road)
You can only run so far ahead
chorus:
Follow your heart to ruin
Winning until you lose it
Swallow the bitter medicine
Swallow your pride and mean it
We live in a world divided
A lover so unrequited
Swallow the bitter medicine
And open your eyes
When the lies you tell yourself
Playing out the hand you're dealt
Disconnect you from yourself
In the tower that you built
And when the snakes and monsters come
The highest walls won't keep them out
Creatures whispering your doubt
And all of the seeds you're sowing
Become all the fears you're growing
To hide all the tears you're stoic
Behind all the lies
