Don't you understand? You used to be your own man
You used to say, "Fuck The Man," when they tried to lay the bullshit

Eating away at what you've wanted to say
Eating away
Eating away
Eating away at the only thing that ever made you you

Sooner than you know it
Sooner than you know it baby
You've shrunk down in size
Yeah, you never thought it'd happen to you
Never thought it'd happen...
But you've become their lies
Yeah, you never thought it'd happen to you
