lyrics

I'm starting to come round. I'm thinking it through. This isn't about me. It's all about you.
You think I'm oblivious? You think I can't hear? You think I feel anything other than fear?
You've built me a pedestal under the world. Kick start me a new life, unseen and unheard.

They don't know I'm down here. For all they know I'm already dead.
They don't know you're harmless. They don't know I'm clothed, housed and fed.
Like a rescued orphan that you've chosen to raise as your own.
A malnourished young jewel you've encased in the room below.

Tell me again how we're one and the same. Parallel venoms, same arm different veins.
Turn the key: lights out. Hands re-tied, gagged mouth. Scanning for exits. Waiting for your mistake.

They don't know I'm down here and I'm not sure they give a fuck.
They don't know you'll harm me only if I break you trust.
So I'll take advantage of that massive hole in your heart.
Risk my life (or what's left of it)...if I die will you let me out?
