Plagued By Fear Lyrics

You're lying to yourself
Twisting your arm
You're lying to yourself

You're lying to yourself
Borrowing dreams
You're lying to yourself

You're lying to yourself
Making good impressions
You're lying to yourself

You're lying to yourself
In self-deception
You're lying to yourself

Taken over
Taking over
Taken over
Taking over
Taken over
You're taking over
Taking over
You've been taken over

Plagued by fear
Plagued by fear
They're plagued by fear
Plagued by fear
They're putting their heads in mirror-lined boxes

Plagued by fear
Plagued by fear
They're plagued by fear
Plagued by fear
They're putting their heads in mirror-lined boxes

You're lying to yourself
Telling tall tales
You're lying to yourself

You're lying to yourself
Being so complacent
You're lying to yourself

You're lying to yourself
Not a bad intention
You're lying to yourself

You're lying to yourself
In self-deception
You're lying to yourself

Taken over
Taking over
Taken over
You're taking over
Taken over
You've been taken over
Taking over
You're taking over

Taking over
You're taking over
Taken over
You've been taken over

Plagued by fear
Plagued by fear
They're plagued by fear
Plagued by fear
They're putting their heads in mirror-lined boxes

Plagued by fear
Plagued by fear
They're plagued by fear
Plagued by fear
They're putting their heads in mirror-lined boxes

They're putting their heads in mirror-lined boxes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Favorite song from "Why Bother?" bar Harvest.

I get the impression that it'd to do with "the masses" who just sit back and allow wrongs to happen. The "putting their heads in mirror-lined boxes" line, seems to be relating to these people just sitting back and thinking about themselves, rather than seeing the bigger picture and doing something to help change the world for others.
