Pain of Salvation Inside Out Lyrics

['30 years ago, society believed that no price was too high, we thought that industry could come at any cost. We cannot afford to pay that price any more.']

So finally my journey ends.
And through this wound
my soul can mend.
Guilt is my blood,
I'm being drained.
This is my home,
I will stay... inside!

There's always someone inside
Fighting to get outside.
The knowing-right-from-wrong side
Our home is inside!

I've travelled the world around
In search for some Grail of mine
How could I be so blind?
It was always here inside
I have only some weeks to give
But at last... I live

Life's just a line of situations
A matter of occasions
And mystic correlations
The work of a Machine!

Here in a world split to nations
We fail to see the relations
Between the Wheel and the Machine
And of the scars we're leaving...

...inside!
I swear there's someone inside
Fighting to get outside
Just give it all an hour
By the Concrete Lake!

['I dread the day my children will ask me why. I dread the day when I will have to explain to them that people thought it was acceptable to destroy the environment so that we could have jobs. I dread the day I will have to explain to my bright-eyed Joshua, who talks to dogs and listens to the grass screaming, that we were all too busy driving fast cars, rushing our children off to day-care, and finding seniors' homes to our grandparents and listening to the ringing of cash registers.

We were all too busy to hear the grass screaming.']
