You take me by the left hand And pull me into sun light All the things that we find to be So en-tic-ing Then you take me by the right hand And push me into darkness All the things that we find to be So a-larm-ing So We dance We dance With things unknown and I don’t know why But it’s in my head Tossing, turning with the thoughts unsaid I don’t know why But it’s in my head Pushing pulling, it’s a tug of war inside my head You take me by the left hand And push it back to darkness All the things that we find to be Back and forth so You take me by the right hand And pull me into sun light All the things that we find to be Cap-ti-vating So We dance We dance With things unknown and I don’t know why But it’s in my head Tossing, turning with the thoughts unsaid I don’t know why But it’s in my head Pushing pulling, it’s a tug of war inside my head

Staring out the window at the scene Naked trees and rain drips down the pane Cars pass below as the buzz of the world passes by I tune out the white noise and focus on silence inside, inside my mind Fill the void, inside my mind with something new Paint the scene, cover the black with shades of Blood, sweat, tears…swell from my eyes and fill the cup Take the brush…fill in the lines and brighten up At the window, watching colors change Trees are full and something stopped the rain Cars start to slow as the buzz of the world starts to know The noise that I hear and the sounds that will fill my insides, inside my mind Fill the void, inside my mind with something new Paint the scene, cover the black with shades of Blood, sweat, tears…swell from my eyes and fill the cup Take the brush…fill in the lines and brighten up

Through our eyes, we pierce the skin Escapes the truth, that's stuck within The hair on our neck, raised to the sky, we know (we know) Hold it in, the lesser man Forever the sacrificial lamb The cuts he receives, for always simple having The lack of sight Oh, how low we can go... When I'm strong, I am a lion And when I'm not, I am a sheep If all that remains, are sharp teeth and manes The wool from the sheep tangled inside of fangs When I'm wrong, I am the lion, the lion, the sheep Bang our chest, the lions roar To ring the ears of cowards poor Poor in the world, and poor in the minds they seek control The sheep will run, and sheep will wait To fear the fate the lions may Choose for the flock, a ticking clock they count The count to the end Oh, how slow it can go... When I'm strong, I am a lion And when I'm not, I am a sheep If all that remains, are sharp teeth and manes The wool from the sheep tangled inside of fangs When I'm wrong, I am the lion, the lion, the sheep The pride can sense fear out of all those who fear the pride The flock can only fight back if they face their Fears in their hearts, the fears from the start, but they wait...
