Gulag

You need a safe embrace
proven to be right
the way this touch is shielding
you cannot live without
imprisoned in its love
you're trained to be obliged
so its suffocating
kiss you can't deny

Still waters run deep

No doubt it takes some time
and pains to go so blind
you're out to fit traditions
conditioned in your mind

What you are free to do any time
you'll never do, i know your kind
as long as lies serve your comfort fine
you'll compromise

You need a fake embrace
you're trained to be a bride
for a selfish master
who boxed you for a life
you call this cage a home
but nothing's what it seems
you've dedicated yourself
to a cannibal regime

Still waters run deep

So think about the time
it took to go so blind
i call this kind of safety:
emotional gulag

What you are free to do any time
you'll never do, i know your kind
as long as lies serve your comfort fine
you'll compromise

Hatred has been tamed in me to disgust
my strength has ripened to humility
