lyrics

There is a tyrant within
Concealed by our skull
Constantly fixated
Duality in its distress

Here I face the voice, a voice that's not my own
Am I alone?

Are we the same?
Confined by internal judgment
Were we always the same?

The obsession in this disrupted mind on the edge of control
Has now come to reign
Inner turmoil

The absence of virtue is now claimed by despair

The tyrant confined in my mind
Lures us to live life in rewind
A voice divided from inside
Inside

(We are one)

Push me over the edge so that we can collapse into its depths
Never to engage what the world has
Never to engage the world inside this mind
Inside this mind

In the absence of virtue now claimed by despair
Gives way to this creation

Free me
Sever the voice of the tyrant
(There is a tyrant within)
Lures me deeper inside

Is this our end as I know it?
Are we the same?

Mend the separation between control and submission
Here I face this voice that's not my own

Are we the same?
Sever the voice from its source
Mute the relentless screams
Sever the voice from its source

This is the end as we've known it
Because we're the same

The presence of virtue
Unearthed by suffering

The tyrant defined by my mind
Lures to live life in rewind
Upon reflection now I know that we are one
We are one!

And now we're the same
And now we're the same
We're the same
And now we're the same.
