Screaming in Arcadia

~ Lyrics ~

Lock my cage hide the keys

Push the door and pull the strings 

I’m so bored of pulling teeth 

Feed my seed the same disease

Perfection in the shadows 

No highs no lows 

Blindly to the gallows 

Empty and hollow 

No more silence, I choose violence 

I feel like I cannot hide it 

Keep my secrets like a key confided

There is something hiding deep inside me 

Keep your little potions poised inside a poet 

Keep your little curses curved so they don’t know it 

Keep your little chains to stains so you can hold it 

I will no longer eat your bullsh—

Twisting and turning

My soul is burning

Trying to cut this loose

Twisting and turning

My skin is crawling

Haunting my every move

Sticks and stones built my bones 

Built my house not my home 

Sticks and stones break my heart 

Built a castle not of art 

Sticks and stone built my bones 

Built a house left alone 

Sticks and stones break my heart 

Built a castle torn apart!

I built this and I tore it all down 

Burnt it to the ground now find my crown 

What’s the matter don’t you drown

Demons screaming silent sounds 

I’m screaming in Arcadia bodies in the stadium 

All the blood and mores to come feel that I’m truly numb 

You want it you got it you can keep it inside a coffin 

You wanna get inside of my mind but I’ve lost it 

You wanna talk about toxins until I’m toxic 

You better hold on tight cause I think I’ve lost it 

Keep your little potions poised inside a poet 

Keep your little curses curved so they don’t know it 

Keep your little chains to stains so you can hold it 

I will no longer eat your bullsh—

Twisting and turning

My soul is burning

Trying to cut this loose

Twisting and turning

My skin is crawling

Haunting my every move
