The Third Day

I think I know what they mean when they say “love at first sight”
I want to be the most important thing in your life
You prove to me that I am capable of anything
I’ll kill for you
Die for you
I’ll make the cover of your favorite magazine

I think I'm better off biding my time for awhile
Every single lesson learned and stone that I've turned shows me I'm out of my mind
I can't shut it out
I'm programmed to want something I cannot have
Who would you be if they weren't around?
I'm starting to think we've lost ourselves within the noise and sound
Deny it - wear it on your sleeve
Your favorite brand, your favorite band, your 'individuality'
They want to watch you bleed
They're placing thoughts in my head
Following me wherever I stand
Advertising into my dreams
Where do you find reality?
I think I'm seeing what you're feeling, but nothing really spills
All the gloss and textures on your face makes me feel I'm out of place
Validate your life - pretend it's all alright
Make believe makes us believe
You don't have to settle your potential
You can say what you want
Do you what you want
Be who you want to be - whatever you want them to see
I know it's artificial, but the chemicals released are real enough for me
I could be anything you've wanted, but I am nothing you would ever need
Placing thoughts inside my head, following me wherever I stand
Caught in webs of fantasy... who would want reality?

Get clean
Count days
Lose sleep
Relapse
Repeat
Interlaced
I'm in it now just like before, but everything has changed
I'm staring at a familiar face, but nothing is the same
Who am I to blame?

Death Sequence
04:41
|
|
||
|
If love brings us closer, open air hits the back of our lungs
Reduced to the numbers, it all comes down to a death sequence
You've got to kill for your fucking food
You've got to kill if you want them to see you
You've got to kill just to shift the mood
You've got to kill your past right now - before they find you
Clearly we think we're more important than we are
I've displaced happiness within this world
Misery loves company, but I'll be the first to admit I'm over this
Soon they'll cave in on themselves
Get on out and save yourself
They're like vampires sucking blood from your veins
Everything they take can't be replaced
Nothing they do can be erased
Escape
Delete me
Set me free
You cut us off and out and wonder why we would bleed
I'm 2.0
You're just a copy
You pray that your prey let's you sink those teeth
Are you ready for this?
You're too close for comfort
I'm with you now, yet days in exile

Lie

Let's pretend we'll be friends after we release each others dopamine
Your profile says you've studied chemistry
You lie with me

You Die In Your Dreams
03:32
|
|
||
|
It's all in your head
The further you drift into your sleep, the more you'll die within your dreams
We're just numbers now, waiting for a countdown
They've got the money and all of the land
We're giving it up for new plains that don't exist
We're sleeping at the wheel on a road going nowhere
Keep me sedated with entertainment
I am not above this, I just love a little defiance
Do you feel like something's been misplaced, but you don't know what?
What are we missing? What are we looking for?
Where did the time go? We're running out of..
Disappear like heaven’s near, except the flesh remains six feet above the truth
We're just counting down

Embrace
01:59
|
|

|
It's a simple case of wasting our good time
We watched the signs as they passed us by
We're so guarded - soul's are on fire
We've got to reach out further now
We'll find a way
That sweet embrace
I complicate my thoughts and blur the boldest lines
We simplify the truths until they're lies
The days are numbered, counting down by night
And all we really want is to know that we're alive

Living Ghost
04:20
|
|
||
|
I think it's finally sinking in
There's nothing left for me in this
I'm tired of living with these ghosts
We share the house, but we were never close
I'll burn it all down to the ground
To the very foundation that keeps you complacent with your sense of self
I'll be the fire you can't put out
Just to light a spark in the dark bright enough to drive you out
You're corrupted by a system you can't defy
You were human, but they took your life
You are logged in, but your soul is offline
You're not programmed to be grateful -
For anything, except what feeds your vanity
What will you become when you lose vitality?
Wasting time with strangers when I just want you,
but I don't know to get through
Interaction is secondary
I don't know if it's necessary now
I'd like to get to know your life, your love, your dirt, your blood
I'm here to call your bluff
Say what you will say
Kill your time in desperation to feel anything

Blue Pill

Would you like to see what's going on inside my head?
A maniac in mania
Down the rabbit hole, losing control of my thoughts again
Watch me fall apart and put it back together on your stereo
I'm writing melodies instead of finding remedies
Oh no
You thought you'd found me, but I was never really there
In time, you'll come to find you already chose the blue pill
Would you like to see an animal after it's kicked and backed into a corner for far too long?
I play dead, try to hide
But the moment that I bite, I'll get put the fuck down
Maybe the one to fear is staring back in the mirror
Just wondering when it all will end
Could you help me get it out of my head?
