Mandelay

Treat me like a doormat
Wipe me out

Take my will and grind it into dust

You're free to do what you are told

Until the rights to you are sold



You take away
I give you all I got



Mandelay



Relinquish what it takes to heal

Relinquish touch and taste and feel

Relinquish all I ever known

Relinquish all and turn to stone

Relinquish what's inside my head

Relinquish all I've ever read

Relinquish all that I enjoy

Forget that I am just a boy

Deny myself the simplest pleasure

Increase the suffocating pressure

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
