You built your world from carvings of stone
Admission comes on when you're always alone
The time is ticking and you're feeling the pinch
In confrontations you wont move an inch

Accumulation isn't part of the deal
The one frustration that you wont reveal
You hide behind your excuses and lies
The only piece that you wont jeopardise

Spike the guns of habit
The truth leads you far away
The silence terrifying
Denies the light of day

You cast your mind to the blackest ideals
You wouldn't know how tranquillity feels
You find yourself just standing alone
You're bound forever but you chew a bone

Spike the guns of habit
The truth leads you far away
The silence terrifying
Denies the light of day

And still you hold me under
And you drive me away
And the silence terrifying
Denies the light of day
