Dweller - It Lives, It Breathes Lyrics

It lives, it breathes
It is the monster that lies within me
It lives, it breathes
Obeys and falls to its knees, we're not born to be slaves
Listen closely, this is our last chance to rob our demons blind
This time it's 3, 4, 5?
I count our chances like sheep
Our will unveils the weak
So I'll unleash my mind
I swear I've been here before
The devil's inside our social psyche
There's nowhere to hide
It all started going wrong when 1913 decreed what was fake
Are we just bound to make the same mistakes again, and again
I felt the dark take a hold of me
Consumed by guilt I could barely breathe
My lungs filled with smoke
I burned the light just to feel at home
But I can see that I should've been holding onto it
Now I have faced it and this is all that's left of me
So breathe my air
Can't you taste that?
It's tainted, everything tainted with deceit
Now I can't bear it
I took consent and withdrew
Life's always there for the taking
I'm breaking the mould
As you stand there faceless and under control
So step back from the bed they've made and live for yourself
I burned the light just to feel at home
But I can see that I should've been holding onto it
A chance to fight for what we should have known
They've gone too far, when we should've been holding onto it
Do you think that we can't? (Be free)
Do you think that we've come this far to be left with nothing?
Hope is a gamble I'll take to the grave
I awoke delayed by time
I can't believe we're hopelessly numb
We're a sheep herd without the shepherd
It lives, it breathes
It is the monster that lies within me
It lives, it breathes
We've got to kill it before the whole worlds diseased
