Wrapped in vines, covered in thorns

With eyes closed we drink the poison
Becoming too infected to make our own choices
I wake up in a world so unfamiliar
I just can't seem to make things clear
It's hard to do the right thing
When we don't know where to go
Are we living for something?
Are we in control?

Wrapped in vines and covered in thorns
The truth seems so far to reach for
We don't know what's real anymore
The truth seems so far to reach for

We've become the pawns and pieces
Slowly our awareness decreases
Now even if you think you'll win the game
The outcome will always be the same
We swallow the lies we're fed
We're laying down on our death beds
When did we become so mindless?
Is it too late or can we still fight this?

Wrapped in vines and covered in thorns
The truth seems so far to reach for
We don't know what's real anymore
The truth seems so far to reach for
If you look close you can see
These vines were painted all along
If you look close you can see
They're nothing but an illusion

I need to know the answers
I need to know the truth

If you look close you can see
These lies were painted all along
If you look close you can see
They’re nothing but an illusion
