One Man's Hell

Your feet are firmly on the ground
You run on rails of steel
You search for me and i am found
Tilting at windmills
The pressure to conform is so intense
Why must i bow down to common sense

One man's hell is another man's heaven on earth
What do you see that makes you feel so free?
One man's hell is another man's heaven on earth
I can't believe that this is all my world will ever be

I'm sand in the machinery
I'm sugar in the fuel
But your sublime viscosity
Is oil for the engine
I'd like to blow this metal box apart
But it's been so long i don't know where to start

One man's hell is another man's heaven on earth
What do you see that makes you feel so free?
One man's hell is another man's heaven on earth
I can't believe that this is all my world will ever be

And i tell myself
As the years are rushing past
This is not my dream
And the pain won't last
And i shout my name from the window
But the world cannot hear

I must confess to nothing less
Than feeling rather used
They say that we're all laughing now
Living on plastic
Don't tell me only losers feel the pace
Everyone gets beaten in this race

One man's hell is another man's heaven on earth
What do you see that makes you feel so free?
One man's hell is another man's heaven on earth
I can't believe that this is all my world will ever be
