Why do we suffocate ourselves
Trying to live another's dream
Is it society that
Makes us all want to scream
Oh, are we all encased
Trapped in a foreign place
Oh, will we ever escape
Open the door to a clean slate
Have you fallen into the trap
And lost your sense of self
You have wandered aimlessly
And now you're lost some place else
Oh, are we all encased
Trapped in a foreign place
Oh, will we ever escape
Open the door to a clean slate
There aint nothing left to do
When you haven't got a clue
Spinning circles in your mind
You're just wasting too much time
Yeah too much time
Can we turn this all around
We may have come too far
And now this cut is deep enough that
We'll both be left with a scar
Oh, are we all encased
Trapped in a foreign place
Oh, will we ever escape
Open the door to a clean slate
Oh, is it all erased
Our memories washed from our minds
Oh, has it all gone to waste
As time seems to pass us by
