I am the blueprint for a system that's broken down The framework of failure fallen to the ground Erase the past disgrace and change your ways Forget the things you crave, become the suffering A story like a dream tormenting me I won't forget the constant misery Absent of empathy I can't go on with this insanity It's taking hold of me I can't see what tears me down I will not throw away the only thing that I will ever be When we're better off without ♪ A ruin of the bell that rung for me The echoes of your lies are deafening Absent of empathy Rip out your eyes and leave the light behind A shameful sacrifice Become the suffering (suffering) I can't go on with this insanity It's taking hold of me I can't see what tears me down I will not throw away the only thing that I will be ever be When we're better off without I hold the master key to a temple that's forgotten An abandoned fortress torn down Destroyed and rotten I never thought it would infect us The calamity of consciousness The outstretched hands of the mentor have turned to dust and bone We had control and power but it all came crashing down ♪ Better off without ♪ I can't go on with this insanity It's taking hold of me I can't see what tears me down I will not throw away the only thing that I will ever be When we're better off without ♪ Better off without
