[Verse 1]
Everlasting nights leave all vistas behind,
Limits will become less clear and,
A mystery memory laid out in a dream,
This endeavors causing fear.
That's why I can't explain this stabbing pain,
Come undone with nightly rhyming.
It's time for me to roll the dice.
(Absent sanctity, it's shifting gravity)
(Choir) Addiction's growing faster, making tu go insane.
Ivory fangs are smiling, you'll have to break the habit.
Imprisonment's appraoching, catching the savages,
The mirror's magic mostrando chemical insomnia.
[Chorus]
(Simone) Don't give in to all of this,
Dive into ecstatic bliss.
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free.
[Verse 2]
Waking sunset finds, waking restless minds,
Wistful omens need enclosure.
A new hysteria is fading gravity,
Which is slowly taking over.
It's why I can't unwind, our thoughts align,
Floating on rivers that are drying.
I fear the beast is rising high.
(Choir) Your intuition's fading, a thumping sound impedes,
The daybreak is awaking chemical insomnia.
[Chorus]
(Simone) Don't give in to all of this,
Dive into ecstatic bliss.
Don't tu believe what the sands of time say.
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free,
And the monsters that consume your energy.
[Verse 3]
(Mark) Your barbaric puppets,
Live between the cracks of lies from hate revived.
(Simone) Silver secrets shining through the night.
(Mark) An enslaved fool,
In buscar of burning light from medicine contrived.
(Simone) Golden treasures turning off the lights.
[Verse 4]
(Choir) Forbidden frutas tastes better, when it can numb the brain.
The outcome of the future is looking quite insane.
White bricks and darkened stones are building the fundament,
The silence's calling out for chemical insomnia.
[Chorus]
(Simone) Don't give in to all of this,
Dive into ecstatic bliss.
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free.
And tu should not believe,
What the sands of time say.
Free the lion that's hiding your identity.
Fight the monsters that consume your identity.
Everlasting nights leave all vistas behind,
Limits will become less clear and,
A mystery memory laid out in a dream,
This endeavors causing fear.
That's why I can't explain this stabbing pain,
Come undone with nightly rhyming.
It's time for me to roll the dice.
(Absent sanctity, it's shifting gravity)
(Choir) Addiction's growing faster, making tu go insane.

The mirror's magic mostrando chemical insomnia.
[Chorus]
(Simone) Don't give in to all of this,
Dive into ecstatic bliss.
Tame the lion that's hiding the need to be free.
