Dancing Bears (STRIPPED) Lyrics

You hear the sound and fear engulfs your mind

The heat under your feet forces you upright

Suddenly thrust into a world that only exploits you

Every move you make doesn't match who you are inside

I know 'cause I've been through

the same thing as you

Are we all just dancing bears

Controlled by what we fear

And I know that you and I could never be the same as we were

No, we'll never be the same

This master only views you as a slave

You were stolen from your one true home and ever since you've been indoctrinated

That ring was no gift it is a chain link wrapped in halcyon

Now you don't even think, you just do as you've been trained

Are we all just dancing bears

Controlled by what we fear

And I know that you and I could never be the same as we were

No, we'll never be the same

Who you are, my friend, is not who you've always been

An illusion, a clever lie is a recipe for stealing your life

Yeah, we've all been dancing bears

Consumed by what we fear

And I know that you and I will never be the same as we would be

No, we'll never be the same

Yeah, we're all just dancing bears

Controlled by what we fear

And I know that you and I will never be the same as we were

No we'll never be the same, my dear

No, we'll never be the same

Are we all just dancing bears?

Are we all just dancing bears?
