Lyrics
The pressure within
The internal pressure I feel
Pulls me into a restless abyss
It draws me into a restless state
An illusion of safety again
An illusion of safety reappears
Abadonne tout espoi
Abandon all hope (in French)
My passion is held
My passion is restrained
She is held hostage trapped under a spell
She (passion) is captive, under a spell
She is gone but you hardly can tell
She is gone, but it's hard to perceive
Who is real who is not
Uncertainty about what is real or not
But I want to evade
Desire to avoid
Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night, evade
And I'll make my great escape
Planning a great escape
And I'll run towards the light
Running towards the light
And I'm trying to determine
Contemplating and trying to understand
If the chains are whole or broken
Questioning if the chains are intact or broken
But I'm tirelessly unspoken
Being consistently unspoken
For a change
Yearning for a change
For if I keep my vow of silence
Maintaining a vow of silence
I can harbor my compliance
Preserving compliance by staying silent
In this state of self defiance
In a state of self-defiance
I will stay
Choosing to remain in this state
I bend and I snap
Bending and breaking under pressure
Break my bones to conform and adapt
Breaking bones to conform and adapt
Suffocating this will that I lack
Suffocating the will that is lacking
As we intertwine
As we connect
The entities dance
Entities dancing together
To a rhythm I'm caught in a trance
Caught in a trance-like rhythm
I am lost in their visions again
Lost in visions that may not be mine
Could they be mine
Questioning ownership of these visions
But I want to remain
Desire to remain in a dream, out of sight
In a dream out of sight
Despite that, nothing alleviates the pain
And yet nothing numbs the pain
Unable to reach the light
For I can't reach the light
Continuing to question the chains
And I'm trying to determine
Consistently remaining unspoken
If the chains are whole or broken
For the sake of change
But I'm tirelessly unspoken
Maintaining silence for compliance
For a change
Preserving compliance for change
For if I keep my vow of silence
Choosing to stay in self-defiance
I can harbor my compliance
Staying silent to comply with oneself
In this state of self defiance
In a state of rebellion against oneself
I will stay
Commitment to remain in this state
