In your life You seem to have it all You seem to have control But deep within your soul You're losing it You never took the time Assume that you're to blame You think that you're insane Won't you spare me I know the breakdown Everything is gonna shake now someday I know the breakdown Tell me again am I awake now Maybe you can find the reason that No one else is living this way Yeah your lies your world is built around Two faces to a clown The voices in your head think There's four pawns down Well in this unity Fate has found the need You better check yourself Before you check out If you find yourself Then you might believe Then within yourself You just might conceive You can find the reason that (You can find the reason that) No one else is living this way (You can find the reason that way)
