Everything 
 Is not what it seems (not what it seems) 
 The price we pay 
 For living our dreams (living our dreams) 
    I'm losing composure 
 Can't wait till it's over 
 My mind is a boulder 
 That's breaking my neck   
 The double-edged sword 
 Has me caught in a headstorm 
 But I won't quit now 
 I can rest when I'm dead   
 Can I catch a breath? 
 Blasphemy 
 I'll trade my sanity 
 All for some vanity 
 Let it be my death 
 From within 
 Life's a glass prison 
 Where no one can sin   
 Crack under pressure 
 (Or turn into a diamond) 
 Stuck here so long 
 (I don't know where my mind is) 
 My creative thoughts 
 (Have been stuck in confinement) 
 Give you what you want 
 (I'm always compliant)   
 Everything 
 That we love 
 Is temporary 
 Please remember me 
 When I'm dead and 
 I'm buried   
 My mind just 
 Wants to be free (wants to be free) 
 I pray one day 
 I'll be at peace (I'll be at peace)   
 One the other side 
 They swear grass is always greener 
 Do I sound ungrateful 
 I'll change my demeanor 
 I'll paint you a picture 
 So that you can see it cleaner 
 If you think I'm the problem 
 Then look in the mirror   
 Can I catch a breath? 
 Blasphemy 
 I'll trade my sanity 
 All for some vanity 
 Let it be my death 
 From within 
 Life's a glass prison 
 Where no one can sin   
 (Ooh) 
 Day after day 
 It just wears me out (drags me down) 
 Sleepless nights 
 Always filled with doubt   
 Maybe I'm masochistic 
 I am madly in love with it 
 And I can't seem to get enough   
 Night after night 
 Sanity's on fumes (it's a trip) 
 Take it all 
 I'm addicted to my doom   
 This life is so sadistic 
 I am madly in love with it 
 And I can't seem to get enough (thoughts)   
 The spotlight is blinding (thoughts) 
 My skull is confining (my thoughts) 
 The spotlight is blinding (thoughts) 
 My skull is confining my (thoughts)   
 My brain starts to rot (thoughts) 
 I did everything (thoughts) 
 To claw my way to the top (thoughts)   
 I sifted through (thoughts) 
 All of the snakes and the leeches (thoughts) 
 I poured blood sweat and tears (thoughts) 
 For years just to reach this (thoughts)
