I think it's been a year
Or maybe it's two.
I can't remember the last time
That I spoke to you.
It looks like you've been locked away
Believing whatever you're told.
I can't believe how low you sank
You used to be so bold.
The tools of conquest
Don't come with bombs and guns.
Keep your head down
Stay in the line.
Eyes on the floor
Don't look behind.
Turn on your friends
Family is gone.
Now open wide and
Just swallow.
Funny how time repeats itself but
I never thought it'd be you.
To turn against your neighbor when things seem bad but
I guess it's all true.
Lost your convictions to feel safe
When it was all a lie.
You've let yourself become a shell
Remember when you could fly.
The tools of conquest
Don't come with bombs and guns, bombs and guns.
Keep your head down
Stay in the line.
Eyes on the floor
Don't look behind.
Turn on your friends
Family is gone.
Here's what to think:
We're your God now.
Park where we say
But just on these days.
And when you get your pay
We're gonna take it away.
And eat what we serve
Just stay in your cage.
Don't you ask questions
Just swallow!

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
There's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good, just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Watching numbers change so slow
Check my window for the only car I know.
And it feels just like the clock is stuck still
Every second and it's testing my will
It's like bondage that I've done to myself
Like I've been frozen solid inside of hell.
The illusion of time
Counting down my decline.
So fast is how our world spins
You will miss all the good if you don't see the sin.
The sun comes up and then I wait for the moon
Soak in the darkness as it fills up my room.
And if I close my eyes I feel her caress
And I imagine touching her velvet dress
The illusion of time
Counting down my decline.
Was it all just a lie?
Was this hourglass wearing a disguise?
The illusion of time
Counting down my decline.
Grapsing to her tight rope
With a false sense of hope.
