lyrics

If You Knock knock knock on my door
You’ll find nothing as it was before
Why don’t you step inside and see what you’ll find
An untold secret lies left behind

Has something changed I don’t feel the same
My lifestyle somewhat re-arranged
I’ve a tortured face so full of pain
I don’t seem able to recall my name

Why Can’t I open up my eyes
It’s time that I realised
This person’s not me inside
My whole life’s been bastardized
Bastardized, I’m bastardized
Bastardized, I’m bastardized

An untold secret lies left behind
Bastardized within my mind

Why Can’t I open up my eyes
It’s time that I realised
This person’s not me inside
My whole life’s been bastardized
Bastardized, I’m bastardized
Bastardized, I’m bastardized

What’s plain to see before your eyes
It’s not the truth it’s just lies
What I’m trying to hide is the devil inside
Reality perhaps I’m hypnotised

Why Can’t I open up my eyes
It’s time that I realised
This person’s not me inside
My whole life’s been bastardized
Bastardized, I’m bastardized
Bastardized, I’m bastardized

My temperature begins to rise
Is this reality or am I hypnotised?
No one ever heard my cries
I’m bastardized within my mind
Bastardized, I’m bastardized
Bastardized, I’m bastardized
