trapped

The Living Tombstone

He could not save us all
He could not save us all
And no one s left to take the fall
He s trapped inside his walls
He didn t say goodbye
He s playing god decide who lives or dies
It s his design
He s trapped inside his mind

Hello neighbor, glad that you could drop by
But it s a bad time
And I m a little tied up at the moment
So if you d leave me alone and say goodbye
I won t ask about your wandering eye
Sorry, I can t come to the door for more
I feel like we bar?ly see each other
And you re only n?xt door
Did you try to say hello before and miss me?
I assure you nothing s wrong, I ve just been very busy
Much to be done in such little time
It s enough to make somebody crumble
Undone and as they stumble to outrun their mind
Look at me mumbling, you re getting impatient
Well why don t you come in, I ll show you the basement
What are you spying for, I m just curious
What are you lying for, it makes me furious
Oh, you shouldn t have come looking for trouble
Don t struggle - hold on, let me get my shovel

He could not save us all
He could not save us all
And no one s left to take the fall
He s trapped inside his walls
He didn t say goodbye
He s playing god decide who lives or dies
It s his design
He s trapped inside his mind

I m a brainiac
I m on the edge, they re calling me a maniac
I m on the ledge who knows which way I may react
Apostle of the technical, erecting the impossible
A feat of engineering veering into disarray
The way that every memory s sending me
to a place where every friend of me s my enemy
Retrace the steps I went on that dismember me
Can I build a machine
that can filter the screams in my head?
Can I scheme in between
all the themes of the dreams of the dead?
I have lost all that I am willing to lose
It s got me confused, it s got me unhinged
Paranoid that I will lose the boy and you will win
My mind is a museum every painting is a scar
They re calling me extreme
but what the hell does that make what they are?
I m chasing shadows in the dark
I m chasing all the fallen feathers in the park
A raven saying nevermore
They re paving over secrets held forevermore
I ll master hell, so what do I need heaven for?

He could not save us all
He could not save us all
And no one s left to take the fall
He s trapped inside his walls
He didn t say goodbye
He s playing god decide who lives or dies
It s his design
He s trapped inside his mind

He could not save us all
Left to take the fall
Trapped inside his walls
Trapped inside his
Mind, mind, mind, mind
