The People in the Attic

[Intro] It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality (These are the words that set me free) [Verse 1] We are the last of what used to be Every breath, every moment They’re getting closer and closer to me Stripping my dignity with every brick as it’s broken Stealing hope from my whole family Lights out The path that God has lit grows ever darker But my faith goes further now I didn’t want to be a fucking martyr But I can’t put my pen down [Chorus] I stare through the cracks of my life in slow motion As my world crumbles down around me I write the words that set me free [Verse 2] Always glued to the radio Getting lost in the static as the attic is taking its toll Can’t we all just go? I’m fucking sick of the inside We’re alive yet deprived and alone but never on our own Alive yet deprived and alone but never on our own [Chorus] I stare through the cracks of my life in slow motion As my world crumbles down around me I write the words that set me free These are the words that set me free These are the words that set me free, yeah [Guitar Solo] [Skit] Good morning sir, I’m officer Silver Bauer of the SS Yea… You're hiding enemies of the State, are you not? Yes… Take me to them now No! [Chorus] I stare through the cracks of my life in slow motion As my world crumbles down around me I write the words that set me free These are the words that set me free These are the words that set me free, yeah
