lyrics

You know just what to say
To maintain your disguise
And heap onto that veil lies to cover lies
Do you love saving face
Religious facade
Do you love your beliefs more than you love your god

Trapped inside the image of a life
When life indeed exists outside it

Seek that land
Take hold
Understand your role

I’ve all but given up
Searching for the key
To pry open every lock and set us captives free
When we love our cells
We've made them into home
And the pathway out is but a catacomb

Seek that land
Take hold
Understand your role
Seek that land
Take hold
