The Failsafe Fallacy

(album: Luciferous - 2019)

I can see what hides behind this fallacy
Open your eyes and you'll be able to see it too
I feel like I don't belong here
In a world of mindless slaves
Carbon copies of fictitious idols marching to their graves

The innocent become the guilty
Sentenced to a life of misery
Willingly embracing the strength of their chains
Called by a number instead of their names

I know I was meant for something more than to die as a slave in this empty world
A story with no ending is better left untold
I will determine how my life will unfold

I'm not afraid to die
Just afraid to waste it away living a lie
You think that you're safe behind these walls
The guns aren't pointed out they're pointed in
This is a prison
It's not designed to keep them out
It's designed to keep you in

I know I was meant for something more than to die as a slave in this empty world
A story with no ending is better left untold
I will determine how my life will unfold

This is a prison

This is a prison
There is no failsafe
This is a prison
There is no failsafe

There is no failsafe
Just a cold embrace of damnation
There is no failsafe
Just a cold embrace of contagion
A cold embrace of contagion

I know I was meant for something more than to die as a slave in this empty world
A story with no ending is better left untold
I will determine how my life will unfold

This is a prison

I'm not afraid to die
Just afraid to waste it away living a lie
You think you're safe behind these walls
The guns aren't pointed out, they're pointed in
This is a prison
It's not designed to keep them out
It's designed to keep you in

There is no failsafe
Just the cold embrace of damnation
There is no failsafe
Just a cold embrace of contagion
A cold embrace of contagion
