So long to young love I've anchored my heart
Farewell to small joys I've burned down the bar
I'm changing my name so I don't do no harm
Some say it's vanity, some say it's charmNo levels, still the same old devilsFrightened of fear, a servant of time
Kidnapped the queen, I have angered the hive
Snuffed out the stars with celestial winds
Ended a cycle that started again
I stopped going out, they kept coming in
Was I saving my soul or saving my skin?No levels, still the same old devilsCan't hold it close, can't let it go
Prisons in basements in slick model homesI'm just a day-tripper on sacred terrain
My transformation went from mangled to tame
I don't feel different but I don't feel the same
I'm afloat with an ear to the ground
I built a fortress with some books and a phrase
I felt some heat so I came out of the haze
I saw the end and I was truly afraid
I have begged but I'm still not allowedIt's a trap, lay the bait, catch the rat
It's a trap, lay the bait, catch the ratFlew home and left the unknown in the lurch
Kept finding bodies, I called off the search
Went to a hymn from a funeral dirge
Church in the hospital, dog in the churchNo levels, still the same old devilsShepherd me back, this time I know
I don't know nothing, I'm not in controlMindful but gutless
Mindful but gutless
Mindful but gutless
Mindful but gutlessThere's no need to panic
No need to panic
