Puzzle Box Lyrics

(Latent) No escape (Memories) I navigate (Forming) Through my case (Deep inside of me) (Dormant) Beneath the skin (Barren) They keep us in (Visceral) Night and day (Senses now subdued) Parasite Leech upon the guilt from all my wrongs Lead me on the pathway to the (core) Paralyse Staring through the shadows on the wall Unable to solve this puzzle box The journey's long The shadows dance around The answer lies beyond the fourth wall My future days Are etched into my skull Hanging ever by a tethered body, mind and soul Parasite Leech upon the guilt from all my wrongs Lead me on the pathway to the (core) Paralyse Staring through the shadows on the wall Unable to solve this puzzle box Truth or deception? I lose all perception Inside A fleeting sense of self-worth (self-worth) Evaporates into nothingness (nothingness) A tepid grip on myself (myself) Melts away into oblivion (oblivion) (Parasites as thick as thieves) (Paralysed my golden wings) Shadows on the wall dance around Reflections in the amber to be found A puppet on a string soon unwound The truth inside the cave soon to be unbound The path beyond the mountain led me here The answer crystallised in history But now the cracks of time begin to show We lift the veil on what the future holds The torture of entrapment ever grows And now I'm waiting for the afterglow A beast inside of me awakening Alas the consequences of my sins Shadows on the wall dance around Reflections in the amber to be found A puppet on a string soon unwound The truth inside the cave soon to be unbound Bouncing off the walls Latent memories (erupting) Pulling at the cord Earth beneath my feet (is trembling) Lightning cracks the sky 'Wakening the beast (inside me) Rawness in his eyes Reeking stench of fear (and regret) {Cause and consequence} Bouncing off the walls {Show me reverence} Latent memories (erupting) {Fate or circumstance?} Pulling at the cord {I feel severance} Earth beneath my feet (is trembling) {Lightning cracks the sky} Lightning cracks the sky {Eyes intensify} 'Wakening the beast (inside me) {I will stay trapped inside} Rawness in his eyes {Until the cells divide} Reeking stench of fear How can truth set us free when lies are all we have? How can time heal us when our days are running out? How can truth set us free when lies are all we have? How can time heal us when our days are running out?
