Venture - Mystery X, Pt. 1 Lyrics

We have a problem, we knew it came with risks
They always have them, real life has ceased to exist
Confused and dazed, riddled and amazed
It's time to jump ship and see if I can still be saved

Sound beyond sound
Drives me to the ground
I writhe defenseless, deafened senseless
No strength within to be found

Am I a prisoner or slave?
I guess I'll have to wait

Booms so loud that they rattle the walls
Those screaming sounds that reach in to my core
Not left for dead but taken for little more
And now I'm caught in the middle of war

Was there something I missed? I've never seen this before
It never looked like this, I've never seen this before
It never looked like this, I've never seen this before
Was there something I missed?

I can't even cope, I've given up all hope
A broken man barely breathing, nothing left for me to believe in
Day after day, imprisoned and enslaved
This is not another case of save or be saved

Booms so loud that they rattle the walls
Those screaming sounds that reach in to my core
Not left for dead but taken for little more
What do they hope to gain? What do they keep me for?

Like the betrayed and the lost
I'm forced to carry my cross
Far and away from my home
Separated from all that I've known

I've been dragged around for what seems like days
I can't even understand a word they say
Do you understand what you have in this cage?
The trials and tests, exams and probing

What they do not know now is not worth knowing

I kick and I scream
I scratch and bite
I resist with all my might
I have nothing left but to keep up the fight

And then it came to me like dawn before the night
Fight tooth and nail but stay alive
Tomorrow's a brand new day to die
Die
