PROLOGUE

the devil is here
it's spitting on your face in a way
and it won't shrug its shoulders when you're weak
they come back around every time you back down

ACT I: CAUGHT IN THE WOODS

we're twisting a gallows
for you to feel your fear
cause the first time you'd stand there
you won't know that it's not real

blindfolded you'd wait
for when the push comes to shove
and from now on your name
is lost

with this around my neck i'm sure i'm dead
but honestly i don't know why!
i'm panicking again but i wish this would be over
so when comes that one last breath?!


the knot should get tighter as i fall
but i feel that it doesn't catch me at all

that rope's a trick, it's long enough
for you to hit your feet
against the ground, all safe and sound
between the fallen leaves

..at all, on this new found bedding
seems i'm alive... but dead inside

the saddest circus is alive
we mean to stage it few more times
and you're stuck with a martyr role

kid, keep the ribbon on your eyes
we want to make you feel proud
of the glorious scornful act

ACT II: THE REPETITION, THE DAMAGE, AND THE BREAK

they're getting close
even closer than they know
to my own eager role to ensue
nobody owns me if the ground won't shake this once

ACT III: TO BE FREE

and if it's somehow funny
then i'm sure just not for me
trading living for surviving
doesn't make me feel complete
but i'm on their stage
doing all the right moves

the knot serves as a collar
that won't ever touch my skin
and they don't want any victims here
they just perform their mockery

and they could do this again and again
and then again and over again
why would i give them what they want?
i need to throw caution to the wind
i need to set things to work by myself
so i'm free

ACT IV: TO DREAM / TO WAIT

(5:33 / 7:53)


- ACT V: THE LOOP COLLAPSE

is there a point in this game
if i lost my name?
you can keep the guilt for me
now there’s so much shame and i'm left with no fear

and then you won't smile again
and it isn't a mistake
while this time i'm keeping my legs high
before the ground lifts my life
