Rape me of my innocence

Admist these cold and rainy days

There's so much hate beneath this sky

My inspirations all washed away

So tie me down and cut me up

And pour my blood upon the earth

No helpful hands to hold me up

And I could give a fuck for all that it's worth

Breath in, breath out, but take a closer look

Because your life is laced and now you're hooked

The hunter's become the hunted, when it rains, it pours

And instictive push- you better lock your doors

Take a look around-tell me what you see

It's upside down, skewed permanently

Take a look around- tell me what you find

Just an empty search through a foreign kind

I'm sickend by this odious scent

Gently drifting on the breeze

So much at risk, so much at stake

And now we all fall to our knees

So cut me down, and turn me loose

And spill my thoughts upon the page

A hopeless attempt to redefine

Between our skyline and the seventh stage

(chorus)

Tell me what you see?

Tell me what you find?

Tell me what you feel?

Take a look around-line 'em up

It's permanent

So you better check ya source

You better lock your doors

And take a closer look

Because the choice is yours

So get on or get off, give up or give in

Get on or get off, take a closer look
