Story Behind The Song
I like to live in dreams it is so much better then the fear and uglyness that is forced into our heads like we are some kind of dead robots or sheep that can be herded where the few that really control everything want to take us.

Verse
Loosely connected missing the mark
Zeroing in on the deep & so dark
Like lansing a hot spit down a wet throat
Up in the tower staring down at the moat
Chorus
A captive in silence what's shackled is just your free will
A captive so silent surrounded by violence & thrills
Verse
Your taxes are higher then crops will yield
Friends tip their helmets and don't raise their sheilds
So drink to yon virgin she was a poor sport
Slung into battle by the queens of the court
Chorus
A captive in silence what's shackled is just your free will
A captive so silent surrounded by violence & thrills
Bridge
So see and remember is it all all just a dream
A captive in silence so real and so violent it's scenes
Verse
Me & the Princess we walk hand in hand
Just another venture in this floating dreamland
A captive forever ina dreamscape of change
A captive in silence but it never remains
