Everything is not what it seems (not what it seems)
The price we pay for living our dreams (living our dreams)
I'm losing composure, can't wait 'til it's over
My mind is a boulder that's breaking my neck
The double-edged sword has me caught in a head storm
But I won't quit now, I can rest when I'm dead
Can I catch a breath?
Blasphemy
I'll trade my sanity all for some vanity
Let it be my death from within
Life's a glass prison where no one can sin
Crack under pressure or turn into a diamond
Stuck here so long, I don't know where my mind is
My creative thoughts have been stuck in confinement
Give you what you want, I am always compliant
Everything that we love is temporary
Please remember me when I'm dead, and I'm buried
My mind just wants to be free (wants to be free)
I pray one day I'll be at peace (I'll be at peace)
On the other side, the swear grass is always greener
Do I sound ungrateful? I'll change my demeanor
I'll paint you a picture so that you can see it clearer
If you think I'm the problem, then look in the mirror
Can I catch a breath?
Blasphemy
I'll trade my sanity all for some vanity
Let it be my death from within
Life's a glass prison where no one can sin
Day after day, it just wears me out
(Drags me down) sleepless nights, always filled with doubt
Maybe I'm masochistic, I am madly in love with it
And I can't seem to get enough
Night after night, sanity's on fumes
(It's a trip) take it all, I'm addicted to my doom
This life is so sadistic, I am madly in love with it
And I can't seem to get enough
The spotlight is blinding, my skull is confining
The spotlight is blinding, my skull is confining my thoughts
My brain starts to rot
I did everything to claw my way to the top
I sifted through all of the snakes and the leeches
I poured blood, sweat and tears for years just to reach this
