Burdened Hearts - Body Thieves Lyrics

My past has stained my present
My future's a mirage
My dreams permeate to nightmares
As I'm lost in this collage

The pain, the scars have never cut so deep
They serve as a memoir for me
Young and naive
Don't be so quick to speak

Hide and seek
I seek to hide the things that make me weak
Floorboards creek
I am the ghost that haunts the place I sleep

All I see is illusion
We just feign reality

Body thieves
We just feign reality

Helplessly, all hope from me
In the name of selfish greed they took everything from me
Helplessly, all hope from me
Consumed by your greed
Now I'm left here with nothing

Hate refined
A wolf in shepherds skin
Take my life
Take everything I've ever had inside

All I see is illusion
But you choose to be blind

Helplessly, all hope from me
In the name of selfish greed they took everything from me
Helplessly, all hope from me
Consumed by your greed
Now I'm left here with nothing

The walls are caving in
The floor falls out and I'm stuck here again
I didn't build this prison
But I locked myself in and I swallowed the key

I am the thorn in my side
Grab me tight
Rip me wide to see inside
And I - I am a poltergeist
I don't touch or see or feel
Because none of this real

I am the thorn in my side
Grab me tight
Rip me wide to see inside
And I - I am a poltergeist
I don't touch or taste or feel
I wish none of this was real

Helplessly, all hope from me
In the name of selfish greed they took everything from me
Helplessly, all hope from me
Consumed by your greed
Now I'm left here with nothing

Helplessly, all hope from me
In the name of selfish greed they took everything from me
Helplessly, all hope from me
Consumed by your greed
Now I'm left here with nothing

Helplessly, all hope from me
In the name of selfish greed they took everything
Helplessly, all hope from me
Doomed to repeat
What is wrong with me?!
