The Oppressors Lyrics

VERSE 1

I LOOSE MY TONGUE AND TELL ALL WHO WILL LISTEN
AND BEG OF MY FRIENDS TO a**UME MY POSITION
PRETENDING BELIEF, THEY TRY TO EXPLAIN
BUT CLEARLY THEY REALLY BELIEVE I'M INSANE
VERSE 2

DESPITE THE INTENSITY OF ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN
MY RIGID CONVICTION - IT WAS NOT A DREAM
THEY SOW SEEDS OF UNCERTAINTY DEEP IN MY MIND
THEY PLANT DOUBT AND QUESTIONS, ATTEMPTING TO BLIND ME

BRIDGE
MY TREMBLING ARM IS TAKEN BY A STRANGER'S OUTSTRETCHED HAND
HIS GRIP IS FIRM, HIS VOICE IS STERN, AND I SUCCUMB TO HIS DEMANDS
CONFUSED (AND NOT A LITTLE SCARED), I AM TAKEN TO A ROOM
WHERE BUT ONE SINGLE CANDLE FLAME RELIEVES THE HEAVY GLOOM
THERE DO I RETELL MY TALE, NOT ONCE, BUT MANY TIMES
AT LAST, BELIEVED, I AM RELIEVED, CONTENTMENT NOW IS MINE

VERSE 3
ALL AT ONCE THEIR SYMPATHY AVERTS TO RIDICULE
THEY SCORN ME AS THEY WOULD A CLOWN, A JESTER, OR A FOOL
"WE BELIEVE YOU MY FRIEND", MY CAPTOR WRYLY SAYS
THOSE THINGS YOU SAW WERE REAL ENOUGH - BUT ONLY IN YOUR HEAD

VERSE 4

SO AM I INSANE? NOW I'M NOT SO SURE
FEAR SURROUNDS ME AS I WALK OUT THE DOOR
TRAPPED IN THIS LABYRINTH OF DOUBT AND CONFUSION
DENIAL OF ALL IS MY ONLY SOLUTION
