Waking in this state   The world seems strange to me   How can something so beautiful   Shine on something so dreadful?   Realized this too late      You sell them short for what they are   One day they'll show you who they are      Leave it to us to tape our mouths   The silence will add more to release   'Cause talking has become a taboo   If only they knew the power that they had      I wake up and find myself unstable   I'm hoping that this world is just a fable      How can something so beautiful   Shine on something so dreadful   So dreadful?      The hunger necessitates the slaves   To fasten and redirect their waves   One day the silence will be torn   Despoil these social straps we've worn      I wake up and find myself unstable   I'm hoping that this world is just a fable      How can something so beautiful   Shine on something so dreadful?   How can something so beautiful   Shine on something so dreadful?      If only they knew the power that they had   You sell them short   You sell them short      I wake up and find myself unstable   I'm hoping that this world is just a fable      How can something so beautiful   Shine on something so dreadful?   How can something so beautiful   Shine on something so dreadful?      Realized this too late to fight it   Realized it's too late to fight it   Realized it's too late
