Verse 1
Conforming to the ideals of the pack mentality
Justify your worth, justify your existence
Sacrifice your true self just to gain the favour of others
So you can be a star in their eyes
Chorus
Embrace your unique identity
Find your own way, choose your destiny
Embrace your unique identity
Find your true self, who you’re meant to be
Verse 2
Perfected the act, made others believe
You moulded yourself, just to please
Follow the trends, chased the craze
You sold your soul, you sold your mind, you sold your spirit
Now there's nothing left behind
Chorus
Embrace your unique identity
Find your own way, choose your destiny
Embrace your unique identity
Find your true self, who you’re meant to be
Bridge
Write your own legacy
Write your own destiny
Chorus
Embrace your unique identity
Find your own way, choose your destiny
Embrace your unique identity
Find your true self, who you’re meant to be
Write your own legacy!

Verse 1
The organ grinder plays to the crowds,
Displays his puppets for all to see,
The crowd demand a new sensation,
Puppets perform but others flee,
The Grinder satisfies every mood,
A puppet for every occasion,
An endless stream for your every desire,
To appease the fleeting mind,
Chorus
Just a puppet prying for attention, fighting through the horde
Just a puppet crying for affection, need to feel accepted
Just a puppet prying for attention, to be the next wonder
Just a puppet crying for affection,
We’re all at the mercy of the Grinder!
Verse 2
The puppets scramble to please the grinder,
Hoping they’ll be made a star,
Wearing a new mask to wow the crowd,
A fresh design will take you far,
Famous today but forgotten tomorrow,
A battle for eyes wages on,
Stories, stunts and Schadenfreude,
The endless stream fulfils you.
Chorus
Just a puppet prying for attention, fighting through the horde
Just a puppet crying for affection, need to feel accepted
Just a puppet prying for attention, to be the next wonder
Just a puppet crying for affection,
We’re all at the mercy of the
We’re all at the mercy of the
We’re all at the mercy of the
Mercy of the
Grinder!
Mid Section
A puppet for every occasion [repeats]
Grinder! [Repeats]
Chorus
Just a puppet prying for attention, fighting through the horde
Just a puppet crying for affection, need to feel accepted
Just a puppet prying for attention, to be the next wonder
Just a puppet crying for affection,
We’re all at the mercy of the
We’re all at the mercy of the
We’re all at the mercy of the
Mercy of the
Grinder!

Verse 1
Staring through your second eyes
Stitched together a brave face
Wearing a shield with the hope to go unnoticed
For just a while.
Chorus
A mask to conquer the trial
A mask to put on smile
A mask to hide away
A mask to rule this day
Verse 2
Living through, your second eyes
Showing the world who you really are
Empowered, by a new sense of self
Hidden inside
Chorus
A mask to conquer the trial
A mask to put on smile
A mask to hide away
A mask to rule this day
A mask to put on smile
A mask to conquer the trial
A mask to hide away
A mask to rule this day
Break
Hidden behind a mask
Living through a mask
Living through a mask
Hidden behind a mask
Chorus
A mask to conquer the trial
A mask to put on smile
A mask to hide away
A mask to rule this day
A mask to put on smile
A mask to conquer the trial
A mask to hide away
A mask to rule this day

Journey Of The Lost
05:44
|
|||
Verse 1
Aimless wandering through the mists
another body in the crowd
{feeling faceless}
A lack of identity
No place to belong
Just a piece that doesn’t fit
Chorus
Fight for it
Survive it
Learn from it
In this moment you’ve got to
Live, for the journey,
Sail through the eye of the storm
Verse 2
Navigating the seas of live
Finding true north
Each decision, a fork in the road
As a new path is formed
Chorus
Fight for it
Survive it
Learn from it
In this moment you’ve got to
Live, for the journey
Sail through the eye of the storm
Live, for the journey
Sail through the eye of the storm
Bridge
Live, for the journey
Not the destination
Live, for the journey
Not all who wander are lost
