[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Craving possession
Material obsession
You function solitarily
On lower brain transmission
You want it, you need it
You're never gonna get it
'Cause really what you're chasing
Is a lie to begin with

[Verse 2]
Paralyze
Manufacture aspiration
Design the ideal outcome
Would you like to hear your story?

[Pre-Chorus]
All this time you've played the part
A part that was chosen just for you
Bite down on the painless
Enter the gates of horn and ivory

[Chorus]
With fire at my back
I will tame the waters
I will learn to swim
Fear is not my master
With fire at my back
I will tame the waters
I will learn to swim
Fear is not my master
[Bridge]
How do I breathe?
You will choke
How do I walk?
You will fall
Instinct to the extinct
Paralysis by analysis

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Trapped in delusions
Ghosts are out to haunt you
The world you've grown to love
Is slowly crumbling
You need it, you want it
You're never gonna get it
'Cause really what you're after
Is a fictional desire

[Chorus]
With fire at my back
I will tame the waters
I will learn to swim
Fear is not my master
With fire at my back
I will tame the waters
I will learn to swim
Fear is not my master
[Outro]
Enter the gates of horn and ivory
Enter the gates of horn and ivory
