lyrics

One thinks the answer to the problem
 is a pot of gold
 but
 that path it travels is a deep dark dirt hole and 
that pain in its heart is a product of the knot tied in the string
 that makes
 the mannequin dance beyond
 its own control.

Fulfillment of temptation is a warm wet fix
 for the cold dry dead environment so many be living in but
 when worship of idol supersede love of humanity, god will necessarily eat 
his own family.

If 
you've got the power to think, you've got the strength to endure. The road to freedom has long been painted on the floor in a shade of light that can be seen
 by any eye that has learned
 to
 see
 above and beyond the original lie.

"Every moment you experience is stored in the back of the mind where things deemed long forgotten are really just set aside. Indeed, the day will come when lifetime is reviewed it is then you will remember the word:

SINCERITY"

If 
you find yourself alone throughout the day and the night, no matter how many people are in your line of sight, 
it may be time to take a look under the bed
 at the monsters that inhabit the deepest darkest hole in your head.
