Inside Job
[Intro]
No broken windows
No open door
No sign of footprints
On the old wooden floor
Someone moved the furniture
And changed all the locks
But never left one single trace…
Before everything turned to rock
[Verse 1]
I searched the distant skyline
For a sign beyond the stars
Followed every map
Counted every fading scar
I questioned every witness
No one claimed to see a thing
While underneath the noise
A whole new world was awakening
[Pre-Chorus]
The signal was calling
From a place outside the frame
It moved quietly through the organism
But stopped when it heard my name
[Chorus]
It ’s an inside job
You don’t break in
You don’t take stock
You take a piece of a mountain
And carve a key out of rock
f you want the key to the kingdom
Then surrender your vision
Don’t study books
Study nuclear fission…
[Interlude]
[Verse]
I wasn’t born outside the system
I was buried deep inside
I didn’t know the things I studied
Would one day coincide
Every breath kept me moving
Every heartbeat told the time
I was given both these things
And never pretended they were mine
Every breath supports the body
Every heartbeat keeps the rhythm
Nothing can be earned by works
When life is freely given
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
The signal was calling
From a place outside the frame
It moved silently through the organism
But stopped when it heard my name
[Chorus]
It ’s an inside job
You don’t break in
You don’t take stock
You take a piece of a mountain
And cut a key out of rock
f you want the keys to the kingdom
Then surrender your vision
Don’t study books
Study nuclear fission…
[Interlude]
[Verse]
First I had to learn the system
Every current, every seam
How the field remained together
How the pattern held the dream
I had to face the question
Sight can ever prepare you for
Why are you inside this body?
What were you created for?
[Pre-Chorus]
I asked the dream to tell me
Where the architect had gone
I heard the walls around me answer:
You’ve been inside it all along
[Chorus]
It ’s an inside job
You don’t break in
You don’t take stock
You take a piece of a mountain
And cut a key out of rock
If you want the key to the kingdom
Then surrender your vision
Don’t study books
Study nuclear fission…
[Outro]
