lyrics

V1
I see a snake eating it’s tail,
An ourobouros like a coffin nail


And all those glasses filled with wine,
they’ve helped me block out all this passing time


I saw a cow on my TV,
Her udders burst with slander aimed at me



REFRAIN
With all the masses being led like fools,
led to be slaughtered with precision tools

CHORUS
I go inside, I go inside
I go inside, I go inside

V2
I’ve heard they work away their day,
there was a time I used to work that way

They’re on a sea searching for land,
the more they see, the less they understand


And in a land where most are blind,
the one-eyed jokers are the masterminds.



REFRAIN
And I don’t really care about some cause.
Don’t really care about much anymore.

CHORUS
I go inside I go inside
I go inside I go inside


BRIDGE

My father found himself surrounded,
by big-eared, heavy breathing peasants 
in positions of authority,

And I suspect I know who put them there.

The stench of their streets, the stench of their breath,
All combined, to remind him, of the stench of death,

it's ancient history, yet once again,
Its permeating through the air

V3/SOLO


V4
I’m told to keep my head down low,
and play along with all the puppet shows


I’ve heard they’re giving out rewards,
to people helping you fall on your sword.


And what goes on behind the scenes,
shouldn’t concern the likes of you and me

(or so they say)



REFRAIN
And what I see, I cannot recognize,
I have no need for brave new worlds outside.

CHORUS
I go inside, I go inside
I go inside, I go inside
I go inside, I go inside
I go inside, I go inside
