lyrics

Gaze into your privacy
The camera-eye observes
The sense of guilty pleasure you define

Lost in trust and honesty
A silent voice unnerves
To tell a different story now
To tell your truth to tell your fears

You're raise by fire, raised by rage
And taught to disengage
They can keep you in that cage

There's no one, no one, no one, no one here
He never said why he was leaving home alone
The thoughts that travelled with him
The fuel that would not burn

Lost in the torment of your mind
In the world that you design
In the struggle for your soul

Caught in the lens of cold deceit
In the secrets that you keep
In the way they treat you
Cruel, unfair, you fight despair

Summer's passed, the hourglass will drop the sands of time
They can make you toe the line

There's no one, no one, no one, no one here
She never said why she was leaving home alone
The thoughts that travelled with her
The lessons left unlearned
