[Refrain] Now the child is gone Bombs on the beach Why keep pretending that it's all out of reach?
[Verse 1] Stunted Confronted all my sanity Flooded Cold blooded Full of vanity You want my thoughts bought and sold I won't buy Won't die doing as I'm told
[Chorus] True west Big contest A big fish Just a conquest Home of the brave Land of disbelief US of A Just an idea to me
[Verse 2] Heaven embedded The promised land I said it I meant it Take me by my hand [Chorus] True west Big contest A big fish Just a conquest Home of the brave Land of disbelief US of A Just an idea to me
[Post-Chorus] Now the child is gone Bombs on the beach Done pretending that it's all out of reach Unafraid for the day we die Found a way to clip my wings and fly A lie of the mind Unfurled Meantime More real than the real world A lie of the mind
[Verse 3] When nothing's worth something, then how else will we know? Disgusted Untrusted Cut me down so I can grow I won't mind if you come with me and waste away our time When we find another wall, am I really up to climb? I am blind Gave what's mine Got time Now I'm alive A lie, lie of the mind
