This is exactly what they want
Oh no, I can feel them at the door
And I'm shaking at the thought of disappearing like the others
I won't go along, no I won't be controlled any longer
When they come to find me I'll be standing out
Helpless to save you I die to inspire
Destroy the words
Destroy the works
Hold the pen
Control the crowd
Stay still, they're pouring in the room
And remember what we promised in the secret of each other
I won't give you up, no I won't give you up, It's all we have left
Safe inside my mind
Only safety from the blind
My god they're sure to find
My mutiny inside
I'm tired, it's safe to say I'm broken
I'm missing someone I never knew
I'm lying with every breath I take
And I searching for someone, somewhere
When they come to find me I'll be standing out
Helpless to save you I die to inspire
Destroy the words
Destroy the works
Hold the pen
Control the crowd
He who holds the pen, writes the past, controls the crowd
Cold and calm, break me down
Ten thousand eyelids stretched wide still they're silent
My words left alive, but they're dead on arrival
I'm begging, I'm pleading, but my words have no meaning
They're lying, they're lying, they're lying
