It's just wrong the way you let them
Treat you so bad
They treat you like a fool
Broken promises that they'll be cool
Only thing they keep
Is you locked up

Fortune for the brave
While you swim in shallow waters
Fortune for the brave
Give me back my pale fire
Fortune for the brave
While you swim in shallow waters
Fortune for the brave
Give me back my pale fire

You belong where you believe
What you allow
Is what you receive
Open your eyes so that you can grieve
If the ones you trusted most
Only ever deceived you

Fortune for the brave
While you swim in shallow waters
Fortune for the brave
Give me back my pale fire
Fortune for the brave
While you swim in shallow waters
Fortune for the brave
Give me back my pale fire
Give me back my pale fire

On my way to hell
Somehow I got free
I was underneath your spell
When she said this to me
Let's get the waitress
I think you need a cup of tea
Just remember, you're in the matrix
And it's on you to set them free

You see the spider
On that neon web?
Well it's not there at all
Anywhere but in your head
What's up is down
And what's down is up
The choice is up to you
I left the red pill by your cup

Where is the waitress?
Let's pay the check, the meal is done
Just remember, you're in the matrix
And baby, you're the one

So go back now to your roots
I mean the ones before
Your life even began
Back when you were just pale fire
Jumping from a distant star
To another land

Fortune for the brave
While you swim in shallow waters
Fortune for the brave
Give me back my pale fire
Fortune for the brave
While you swim in shallow waters
Fortune for the brave
Give me back my pale fire
Give me back my pale fire
