Make believe and my blind hypocrisy
We all live in disbelief
Fighting for what we refuse to speak
Our love is all and can carry us far
But now it isn't free
A price we all pay indefinitely
I am a slave
I won't give to take
I work for everything
Not just a wage
Grinding away
Cause that's the way you want me
Falling to my grave
Cause I am a slave
Day after day we all hope wishes will come true
Instead we're left with treasures so heavy we can not move
They promised us a taste of what they do
At least they said they were going to
I need to escape
Cause I can't keep living like this
No, I can't keep living this way
I wish that some how things would change
I'll follow my heart and my soul
Until were f*cking dead
I am a slave
I won't give to take
I work for everything
Not just a wage
Grinding away
Cause that's the way you want me
Falling to my grave
Cause I am a slave
When nobody ever wants to end this way
You are my saving grace
I want out this place
To a go where I belong
We work for days and nights without a single break
You keep filling our hearts with all your grateful words
With all your hopeful promises
We've been in this world for so long
I hope that one day you'll learn that
We won't stop until we're dead
And I know chances are slim enough
But I know the time we spend is all I'm hoping for
I am a slave
I won't give to take
I work for everything
Not just a wage
Grinding away
Cause that's the way you want me
Falling to my grave
Cause I am a slave
When nobody ever wants to end this way
You are my saving grace
I want out this place
To a go where I belong
When everything is beautiful
Take yourself out of the picture
A soft, subtle reminder
That everything is better without you
