Permanent (Take A Look Around)

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
