Once you’ve gone out of the cave
And you’ve seen so much of this world
How can you go back to the old lies
And pretend there’s nothing wrong?

Why keep trying to align yourself
To what already is unaligned?
Why keep fighting against yourself
When you know the truth on the inside?

(And they say)
Don’t take a step out of the plan
Don’t fool yourself to think it’s real
You know this isn’t the best you can
You know this isn’t what you feel

But dive into their eyes and see for yourself
That they think they're all strong shells
Trapped like flies to sugarcoated lies, indoctrinated
They see rock cold hearts as pearls

Entitled to the throne of heavens
They're ready to walk the psycho path
Working their heads to demonize you
While they say they're the ones demonized

Look at the clever boy with his badge
He's got all these beautiful trophies
Inspire us all with desire to live
One through another, to feed this idiocracy

Why keep trying to excel
In a world that is unaligned?
Why keep fighting against yourself
When you know the truth’s inside?

Don’t take a step out of the plan
Don’t fool yourself to think it’s real
You know this isn’t the best you can
You know this isn’t what you feel

Don’t take a step out of the plan
Don’t fool yourself to think it’s real
You know this isn’t the best you can
You know this isn’t what you feel
