Lyrics for We Are All Prisoners
Purgatory
In this state of mind
I guess we’ll never find
What we’re looking for
We’re all conditioned
Stuck in a mission
To seek out what we can just create
But we all believe
That in time we’ll find our resolve
And we’re all naive
To think there’s an end to it all
And we’ll keep on waiting
For a sign
When everything will fall in line
How much more of our time
Will we waste
In the thrill of the chase?
We never stopped
To take it in
Running in this race
Lost time cannot be found
Before we know it we’re in the ground
And everything will pass us by
Will we ever be satisfied?
Unrequited Love
Am I seeking out accessories
Infected with this same disease
I know what I felt once before
And I dont feel it anymore
These games we play
We run in circles
The things we say
They’re always hurtful
But here’s the thing about you
No, I can’t live without you
Without you
Oh, this unrequited love
Oh, what have we become
Since that first day that I arrived at your front door?
And oh, I was so naive
And oh, what a web we weave
Boy, I’m so sorry that I couldn’t love you more
I need to know your game
If we’re gonna play
You set the rules and I’ll obey
You’re a sweet girl
But you already know
I’d let you win
Before I’d let you go
And I’ll manipulate
And you’ll reciprocate
This dangerous love affair
Girl you don’t even care
I’ll watch as they break your heart
Time and time again
I’ve loved you from the very start
Until the very end
You know that we’ll never be
Never be a you and me
Always linked but never lovers
Never one without the other
Silent Heart
Silent heart,
I’ll miss your beat
Why must we part so incomplete?
And when the leaves fell
So did you
Your breath expired
Your dreams did too
As your eyes come to a close
Absent soul, may you repose
This war inside comes to an end
This one’s for you,
Our fallen friend
Masterpiece
You are an idea
A picture-perfect portrait
You are brilliant and beautiful
And you better believe it
So find your place
Find your purpose
‘Cause great is what you’re meant to be
Hold your head up, you will see
This intricate design
Thought out by a mastermind
It’s all significant
This is no coincidence
Hear me out, don’t you stress
You’re sculpted with such great finesse
He knew you long before you came to be
Remember you must
Surrender your trust
Don’t be afraid, let go
And let him take the lead
This intricate design
Thought out by a mastermind
It’s all significant
This is no coincidence
No flaws in history
A work of his glory
And in a master plan
You are a masterpiece
I’m telling you,
You’ve gotta listen
If you’re lost, can’t find your way
He’s asking you
For your submission
I swear he won’t lead you astray
I swear he won’t lead you astray
To The Fire
They cut the tree down,
The demons in this town
They threw the branches to the fire
We turned to ashes
And we were scattered
All of those vows, they have expired
We watched as it all burned down
There’s nothing left to be found
And each cheap shot was like an axe
You built the home then lit the match
So thank you, thank you
For all that you’ve done
‘Cause in that war
Nobody won
The fruit is rotten
And we’ve forgotten
And now she sits all alone
You spit on the contract
Throwing knives at each other’s backs
Igniting all we’ve ever known
You never even tried to cover
The children’s eyes
They watched as you seared each other
And recruited them as your spies
Father Fortune
Oh, Father Fortune
Why do they worship you?
You feed their brains
And fill their veins
With this power, poison, greed and gain
This dependency
Will take its toll on me
We’re all oppressed slaves
Destitute, and now depraved
We’re obsessed
To possess
All these things to excess
And we’re constantly dressed to impress
You keep them coming for more
They keep their knees on the floor
Bowing down to all their golden gods
And invading their every thought
You keep me coming for more
You make me your little whore
I need you, plead you let me go
Freedom’s something that I’ll never know
Oh, paper prince
You now have me convinced that I’m a fool for you
Consumed to consume
But that won’t suffice
And I’ll pay the price
You dangle on a string
Almost everything
This is a rebellion to the riches
And it’s your soul that you will sell
So burn me with all of the witches
But you’re the one under the spell
This is a rebellion to the riches
And it’s your soul that you will sell
So burn me with all of the witches
But you’re the one under the spell
Freedom is something
It’s something I’ll never know
Lasting Love
Let me introduce myself
You could call me ill
Some days I think I’ve fooled myself
Or maybe it’s the pills
Fooled to think that someone would eventually stay
Fooled to think maybe I’m finally okay
And I’m walking through the days
‘Cause I really had no choice
I’m just barely hanging on
Can you hear it in my voice?
Here I sit in this same chair
Saying this too shall pass, I swear
Staring out the same window
With the same longing eyes
Wearing a smile like it’s a disguise
‘Cause I want you to believe
That I wanted you to leave
That I’m alright on my own
That I’m better off alone
With my coffee in hand, I listen to the bands
As they sing of their lasting love
And I think to myself
Why everyone else?
Why couldn’t that be us
And I lose my faith in love
Will I ever be enough?
And I pick myself apart
Wishing I could go back to the start
And I pick myself apart
Wishing I could go back to the start
Thinking where did I go wrong?
Why does love never last that long?
Why does love never last that long?
Why does love never last that long?
Why does love never last that long?
Your Underling
all of this time I had my doubts
but I had your flaws filtered out
I was your mirror,
you broke the glass
you didn’t pick up the pieces
so you became my past
you left me wondering
if I was just your underling
they all abandoned you
but couldn’t you see I stayed true?
you never tried to fight
always thought you were right
in letting go is liberty
so here’s one last apology
our friendship was a trial
and I was always in denial
you never liked my honesty
but how about my loyalty?
I was dispensable
completely indefensible
you always saw my imperfections
and all I ever heard were your objections
you were so condescending
and I was sick and tired of pretending
that you were my friend
‘cause you left me in the end
