Trapped inside a maze
Full of blurry faces
Tryna find my way
See right through the bullshit
Known as skin and bones
Feelin’ so alone
Are we the same?
Could we be twins?
Or am I am I on my own, in this evil game?
And how can I possibly win?
On your face you smile but I know what’s inside
I want to know the truth
Are you really you?
Fallen to the earth and looking for it’s worth
We’re all dressed up in costumes
Organs and muscles
We hide from ourselves
So, are we the same? Could we be twins?
Or am I am I on my own in this evil game?
And how can I possibly win?
On your face you smile but I know what you hide
I need to know the truth
Are you really you?
We were once those lights,
shining brightly in the night time sky
I sit here and wonder why
We all know our home
So don’t pretend like you don’t
Stop trying to forget
You don’t take your first breath
Until after death
So are we the same? Could we be twins?
Or am I am I on my own in this evil game?
And how can I possibly win?
On your face you smile, but I know what’s inside
I want to know the truth
Are you really you?
