[01:22.11]If there's no lock who needs a key?

[01:30.86]I see things vis a vis a sea change
[01:33.58]Full fathom five people became remains deep beneath chains
[01:38.09]We pay into easing these pains
[01:40.94]'Cause the history is difficult
[01:42.26]Wish the results could be flipped like reciprocals

[02:20.35]But do you realize I'd find my lips in flames
[02:22.61]If I tried to take pride in these whips and chains
[02:44.25]Who holds these
[02:45.53]Who holds these
[02:46.18]Who holds these traps and circuses

[03:13.05]Invisible hands of phantoms depend on
[03:15.46]Ya fantasies have been poisoned
[03:17.35]But we've got the panacea!
