I've been dreaming all my thoughts away
Realistic, logical brainwaves
Tell me how to feel and what to say
As all my days and nights are swept away
I'm waiting on the world to detonate
A self-inflicted gunshot to the brain
Will help remind me why I'm in this place
A hell where everybody knows my fate
'Cause I'm stuck inside a fortress
Waiting to escape
While ever so subtly
I'm beaten into place
I won't take no for an answer
Stuck inside a fortress
Waiting to escape
While ever so subtly
I'm beaten into place
I won't take no for an answer
Kid, you and I don't get a simple life
We're mindless sockets meant to line their pockets
While you hide your feelings, they're not welcome here
You live everyday behind your biggest fears
So, just sit and listen
While I tell you when and where to
Jump to bad conclusions
Bask in your confusion
Man you're late you better be on time
Or kiss your future on the ass goodbye
'Cause I'm stuck inside a fortress
Waiting to escape
While ever so subtly
I'm beaten into place
I won't take no, I won't take no
Holding onto something
That isn't even there
So let me plummet peacefully
Into the open air
I won't take no, I won't take no
