Break the Cycle

Was it all a dream? Bringing home the shadows in the dark Attractions in a lost amusement park again Ghosts in the machine Contorted spirits in their moving graves Young futures that will never be the same again For how long Must this go on? Round round on a carousel Blood on the conveyor belt Lost souls Away from home Destroy the nightmare by design Welcome back this time To break the cycle Come follow me I'll cut the strings 'Cause you are not a puppet Break the cycle You can be free Your time is through Break break break break Break it down today Tear the pieces up and burn the shreds Lay to rest the circus of the dead, the end It was a mistake in time But there's no turning back the clock And now it's me Who has to be one to stop it How long Must they roam? With instincts they don't understand Old lives they dance to forget Lost souls Away from home Destroy the nightmare by design Welcome back this time To break the cycle Come follow me I'll cut the strings 'Cause you are not a puppet Break the cycle You can be free Your time is through Break break break break Break break break break the cycle Toil and toil and toil build the maze Where daddy's little monsters await Chasing voices not seeing the flames That grow to free their souls from their chains Break the cycle Goodbye Break break break break Break break break break the cycle Come follow me I'll cut the strings 'Cause you are not a puppet Break the cycle You can be free Your time is through Break break break break Break break break break the cycle
