Theme

A song about living a **double life** and the resulting emotional numbness. The narrator chooses to **'disconnect'** from their conscience and the external world to avoid confronting their pain, guilt, and the social consequences of their actions.

Lyrics
Behind closed doors all you live for is taking That double life of yours has left your whole world shaking Who are you fooling? I know you hear the laughter Don't you hear people talking? what is it that your after? Turn off your conscience Leave the world outside Nothing at all can ever make you feel That anything's so real so you just disconnect The key to save yourself if for nothing else A tongue can never hold the truth of silence is golden With a broken heart underneath all of the pain Do you stroke the pretty scars? the hurt never ends Turn off your conscience Leave the world outside Nothing at all can ever make you feel That anything's so real so you just disconnect Turn off your conscience Leave the world outside Nothing at all can ever make you feel That anything's so real, anything's so real so you just disconnect Turn off your conscience Leave the world outside Nothing at all can ever make you feel That anything's so real so you just disconnect
