A ball and a chain and a kick in the face
They'll slip you a pill just to keep you safe
Break the line, break the line
Cut the connecting wire
Cause you've been blessed my dear
Blessed my dear, beneath a stranger's hand
The writings on the wall
Reminds me of when you went away
I need no explanation now
It's gonna be okay
So easy to be the monster they see
They've got buttons to push and words to speak
Before they set you free
But you've got time yeah you've got time
That thightly holds your hand
And it's not so bad, it's not so cruel
But I guess you already knew
The writings on the wall
Reminds me of when you went away
I need no explanation now
It's gonna be okay
You lie awake in the slow hours of morning
They'll have you waiting while you keep on falling
Let me follow you down
Such a slow heart
Will only fall apart
Such a slow heart
The writings on the wall
Reminds me of when you went away
I need no explanation now
It's gonna be okay
