Looking in as an outsider
I have seen you slip
Are you really happy
Or just trying to forget

Every joyful moment is reciprocated
By a desperate and lonely thought
Every joyful moment is reciprocated
By a desperate and lonely thought

Force it out of your mind
Shove it all inside
Force it out of your mind
Shove it all inside

If we all changed to the lifestyle
You're suggesting, what would be the end result?
You're suggesting, what would be the end result?

Would we be perfect?
Plastic hiding our grief in a shell of a
Conscience until it bursts at the seams

Or would we be able to deny our frustration
Entrance and live a perfect existence?

Chemical cage
Created around ourselves

There is a balance, negativity needs
To exist, pain needs to persist
Otherwise the moments of joy
We experience would loose their relevance

Your creation, the creation
Is just a veil covering your self destruction
Everything you know is a lie
Everything you know is a lie
Everything you know is a lie

Everything you know is a lie
Everything you know is a lie
