Desire, desire, I'm burning up inside
Desire, desire, something stuck on my mind

The time has come to feed
Give to me what it is that I need

I'm bursting at the seams
Come, you belong to me
                  
You're just another thing that I require
Desire, desire

Control, control, the only clean, clear goal
Little puppet in my show, now I dictate which way to go

Pulled to the left, pushed to the right
Through the day and into the night

Now everything wrong is right
Come, move towards the light

Nearer now, we close the blind
I'll seal the sides and seize your precious mind

All my movements, passing ventures
Never learning life's true lessons

Wrap your arms around me
More like chains, tighter, I can feel

Them pulling, forcing me down to my knees
I'm well behaved, doing as you please

I'm in the corner, you're holding my hand
Now shaking, squirming, just as you command

I shall not breath, nor dare to resist
Locked in the dark, to exist how you insist

Don't wait in the crowd, you will only fall down
Trampled

Under soles, made of gold, truth unfolds
Five years untold

The mark still remains

Such fashions in place, removing your face
Would be a good start

Forget your heart, as you take part
Now we can begin

Subconscious is screaming out
Another year, we'll shut it down

Now you're leading the crowd
So sickly and proud
Full of emptiness

The badge you wear, salutes the carelessness
But wait, unsure, an itch, now a sore
What can this be

The weight, unbearable
This part, so familiar

What can this, what can this be
Saying to me, all that I see
It's faded, degraded

A mark profound, rests on my brow

The print of gold as it did scold
It branded me and left me cold
All of those fateful years ago

I remember my place
I remember my soul

I'll flee from the crowd
Yes, I'll fly out of town
Back to the past

I'll dig him up, because, because
Oh to be who I once was
