We are but captives. We are deceased. We know that one day we will be free
We are but captives. We are deceased. We know that one day we will be free

I've seen it again and again
We just have to close the door and we can't ever let them in
You got what you wanted
You got what you wanted so just go

And now you can't make a single noise
So what do you have to lose?
You got what you wanted
Subject to the judgment of a fool
You got what you wanted so just go

Am I meant to follow? What is it to lead?
The tone of a steady voice or the sound of a piercing scream?

The dirt under my fingernails tells of the grave I'm digging
And I know there's something out there that I have to see that's haunting me, see that's haunting me

We'll kill the parasite that lingers in our skin
The loss of appetite
But you got what you wanted
We'll kill the parasite that lingers in our skin
The loss of appetite
But you got what you wanted

Am I meant to follow? What is it to lead?
The tone of a steady voice or the sound of a piercing scream?

The dirt under my fingernails tells of the grave I'm digging
And I know there's something out there that I have to see that's haunting me, see that's haunting me

They'll never know, they'll never know. I'm not exactly what they wanted
The man they thought I was began to die
We just have to close the door and we can't ever let them in
You got what you wanted, now you'll find somewhere to begin

We are but captives. We are deceased. We know that one day we will be free
We are but captives. We are deceased. We know that one day we will be free

The dirt under my fingernails tells of the grave I'm digging
And I know there's something out there that I have to see that's haunting me, see that's haunting me, see that's haunting me
