Stockholm Syndrome

Across the barren wasteland
To a city yet unknown
A meeting with the gods
Under their wing we roam
This steel bath suicide
The momentum has begun
A shift of the poles
A dream come true
Breaking all the rules

A chain on my heart, turmoil machine
Divergent paths beyond

Never in a million years
Did the young boy wish a wish
At the step of success
Lost to the Stockholm Syndrome
Hindsight is negative twenty
Hindsight is negative twenty

Only memory manifestations
Recollections of the wine
Population nearly in crumbs
How natural he is born, amidst the chaos
A moment of clarity
Upon their brows, the caps and the light

Upon their domain we set
Not a second to miss
A prowling predator, the portrait

The sweat fades and darkness shades
The success, a wished for fight
Stabbing victim, the drama it caused
Disappearing into night

Never sworn, forever great, until the divide

Never in a million years
Did the young boy wish a wish
At the step of success
Lost to the Stockholm Syndrome
Hindsight is negative twenty
Hindsight is negative twenty

We return to reality
East to where it all began
The Pittsburgh syndrome smiles
The ride has been majestic

Never in a million years
Did the young boy wish a wish
At the step of success
Lost to the Stockholm Syndrome
Hindsight is negative twenty
Hindsight is negative twenty
