Manipulate Fear

(album: And The Battle Royale - 2017)

Sometimes it appears
To be better to throw
The grenade where you stand and jump

Being on my trail means you're always behind me
And you looked for love
In all the wrong places

The glass through which you see is dark
But not as dark as my soul

If you kill me now
I'll get stuck in my own nightmare
And prison bars of the mind
Are no less solid steel than the dagger
That you put in my back

(So) what's behind the corner?
Usually another corner
Imagine a world without them
You wouldn't be able to cut any

That's unlucky for you
I mean, save from being a try-hard
Your life is built on
Other people's hard work

You are a waste of a human body
A bit extreme, but if the shoe fits?

If you kill me now
I'll get stuck in my own nightmare
And prison bars of the mind
Are no less solid steel than the dagger
That you put in my back

For years and years
I've been staring at these walls
Brick by brick, I tear them down
I tear them down all the way to the ground

And from your side you are helping out
More than you know

If you kill me now
I'll get stuck in my own nightmare
If you kill me now
I'll get stuck in my own nightmare
And prison bars of the mind
Are no less solid steel than the dagger
That you put in my back
