A ball and a chain and a kick in the face They'll slip you a pill just to keep you safe Break the line, break the line Cut the connecting wire Cause you've been blessed my dear Blessed my dear, beneath a stranger's hand The writings on the wall Reminds me of when you went away I need no explanation now It's gonna be okay So easy to be the monster they see They've got buttons to push and words to speak Before they set you free But you've got time yeah you've got time That thightly holds your hand And it's not so bad, it's not so cruel But I guess you already knew The writings on the wall Reminds me of when you went away I need no explanation now It's gonna be okay You lie awake in the slow hours of morning They'll have you waiting while you keep on falling Let me follow you down Such a slow heart Will only fall apart Such a slow heart The writings on the wall Reminds me of when you went away I need no explanation now It's gonna be okay
