lyrics

Behind the Mask of Sanity
Lyrics & Music by: EC5³M.
© BrainDeadBand Music 2006

Intro:
One eye is chasing the mysteries of life, as the other stays focused on the mess under the light.

Verse 1:
Today
Has become tomorrow, same as yesterday,
Cycle continues (and) humans recycled

Infected
With the same disease from our ancestors.
Installed forever in our genes, no one’s pure, nor has ever been.

Offspring will have what kills from birth.
The many doors that follow (this) maze,
Not even (the) architect knows where they end.

(The) blue prints were lost, construction continued.
More doors, no keys,
Locking halls that lead to darkness and traps.

(The stairs to nowhere and) pits to salvation all lost within.

Verse 2:
In love with (the) art of ''naturalism'', Disgusted by (the) reflection of truth
The lies have grown over the years to
Shield away the sunlight that makes us grow.

In this ditch with lines thrown,
Not knowing whether they'll break or work
The fall is further than the one that leads to hell.

The doors are cold as ice, (but)
Doesn't mean there isn't warmth inside, waiting.
The (land)mines go off the closer you step.

Don’t force a way behind these doors
When the keys are so simple to use
Some things don’t need to be said
One can’t ever tell how bad they will die.

Verse 3:
Silenced is best.
Aggravation from interrogation.
Behind the Mask of Sanity is where it's best to stay.

Your right will never be mine,
Nor should you mind the way I am
Await the accompaniment and beauty of silence. No words need to be exchanged

Thoughts alone will always do. (This) broken puzzle can be fixed,
But the parts must remain untouched.
Close your eyes and take my hand.

You won't fall down unless you question (what lies) ahead. When you are my guest,
you will be treated like gold and see everything, given the world.

Post-Verse:
When you doubt or ask, a lot will be taken. Repeat and you have lost it all.
Welcome. Welcome. Never question, accept and float with me. One day you'll reach the end.

End:
Love for what surrounds the outside
Learn to love the damaged inside.
You will never have both. Choose...
Walk through (the) maze, and finish (it) if you can...
