Box Within A Box (Redux)

lyrics

Looking at the reflection of a mirror within a mirror
it's an alien perspective the image not always clear
members-card, strip-clubs, mall, podium on the hill
beggars dime, unconscious mind, a future you can fear

it's a box within a box
talking heads that learn to squawk
it's useless agitation like talk-show applause
it's marching pigs in line all your decency retired
it's cheap sex, stale wine - throw the innocent in the fire

(Burn, let it burn, I'll break all your little rules, All your little rules are none of my concern)

It's the camera behind the camera behind the camera behind the next
It's the secrets you keep hidden, laying naked on your chest
It's the latest craze of voyeurism, behind the scenes realities
It's the things we pretend not to see and of which no one speaks

Now we're standing in the shallows but there's no escape from drowning
It's our liberty at the gallows, a charge that seeks no grounding
If I go out, may I go out as I came, may I live my remaining days
as if there was something I could change

(Burn let it burn, I'll break all your little rules, All your little rules are none of my concern)

What we need is some new power some new influence on our hearts
because when you live in all this sorrow it's your spirit that feels the rot
it's your spirit that feels the rot, it's your spirit that feels the rot...
