bound by fate to life, lost long ago
full function, cut from the strings
perfect know-how, little know-why
settled and easy but still like a prison
caught in the rat race, no way to escape
you try to catch the fire
but you are trapped under ice
death walls, built to hold your back
wake up, no lights, no sound, no change
unbroken and free, rise up
one step forward one step back
full speed ahead
no more solutions in sight
even harder, to go on
you try to look up
but you are going straight down
