Permanent (take A Look Around) Lyrics - Laced - Reveille

Rape me of my innocence 

Admist these cold and rainy days 

There's so much hate beneath this sky 

My inspirations all washed away 

So tie me down and cut me up 

And pour my blood upon the earth 

No helpful hands to hold me up 

And I could give a fuck for all that it's worth 

Breath in, breath out, but take a closer look 

Because your life is laced and now you're hooked 

The hunter's become the hunted, when it rains, it pours 

And instictive push- you better lock your doors 

Take a look around-tell me what you see 

It's upside down, skewed permanently 

Take a look around- tell me what you find 

Just an empty search through a foreign kind 

I'm sickend by this odious scent 

Gently drifting on the breeze 

So much at risk, so much at stake 

And now we all fall to our knees 

So cut me down, and turn me loose 

And spill my thoughts upon the page 

A hopeless attempt to redefine 

Between our skyline and the seventh stage 

(chorus) 

Tell me what you see? 

Tell me what you find? 

Tell me what you feel? 

Take a look around-line 'em up 

It's permanent 

So you better check ya source 

You better lock your doors 

And take a closer look 

Because the choice is yours 

So get on or get off, give up or give in 

Get on or get off, take a closer look
