Daydreams play back like distant memories
As I drown in elusive ecstasy
Calling out to me
Show me what I want to see
Still I wait here for what I can’t possess
Shackled by my delusion’s sweet caress
Calling out to me
Show me what I want to see
Intoxicated on a fantasy
Seeking serenity
I am apparently
A little out of harmony
With your reality
Vanishing, vanishing
Intoxicated on a fantasy
Seeking serenity
I am apparently
A little out of harmony
With your reality
Vanishing, vanishing
Intoxicated on a fantasy
Seeking serenity
I am apparently
A little out of harmony
With your reality
Vanishing, vanishing
Intoxicated on a fantasy
Seeking serenity
I am apparently
A little out of harmony
With your reality
Vanishing, vanishing

Alive Again (feat. IA)
05:05
|
|||
Stone cold, waiting for a sign
Cause the story's nothing at all like had I designed
The pen is slipping from my hand
Let my voice break through the wall
Cause I wonder if there's anyone
Who can hear me at all
Someone to understand
Cause I can't hold on any longer
I'm falling faster
Trembling as I lose my grip
On my happily ever after
And I'm not ready yet to face the end
I want to feel alive again
Alive again, alive again
I'm falling faster
Spill my mind across the page
Try so hard to deny that I'm stuck inside of a cage
To keep my facade of control
Words fail as they leave my lips
Am I the author or a pawn in another's grip
No matter what I say
I feel like little more than clay
I'm falling faster
I'm falling faster
I'm falling faster
I'm falling faster
I'm falling faster
Trembling as I lose my grip
On my happily ever after
And I'm not ready yet to face the end
I want to feel alive again
Alive again, alive again
I'm falling faster

Glitched (feat. Ruby)

(One, two, ready, go)
Infection scatters through the circuits
In your shattered mind
Converting all your dreams to nightmares
That you can’t rewind
Push all the buttons
And now suddenly you can’t see straight
Too late
Locked you in a stalemate
There is no remedy
The memory’s corrupted now
Call me a plague
It’s all a game to me
I’ll show you how
Cause I hold all the cards
Your guard has crumbled to the ground
Ready for the next round
So why am I afraid to close my eyes
Just let me drift to nowhere
Wake up and not feel paralyzed
Why do you throw my troubles back at me
It’s bad enough without you
Just go away and let me be
Just let me be
(Yeah right)
I work behind the scenes
To find whatever I can use
To cause some chaos
Cause I love to see somebody lose
You don’t see me
But I see every single inch of you
Tell me what you gonna do
Shut down your system
Through the schism in your broken head
Lost in denial
Your survival’s on a razor’s edge
Got the advantage
And the damage cannot be undone
(You’re done)
Now there’s nowhere left to run
So why am I afraid to close my eyes
Just let me drift to nowhere
Wake up and not feel paralyzed
Why do you throw my troubles back at me
It’s bad enough without you
Just go away and let me be
Just let me be
(Knock knock, sleepy head)
(No, not now)
(Did you miss me? I missed you, you know)
(Please, go away)
(Why do you keep pretending?)
(Just stop)
(I’m the only one who hears you)
(No, you’re wrong)
(No one really cares about you)
(Stop it, please)
(You’ll never be good enough)
(I’m not listening)
(You already know that)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up)
(And it’s all your fault)
(Just shut up!)
So why am I afraid to close my eyes
Just let me drift to nowhere
Wake up and not feel paralyzed
Why do you throw my troubles back at me
It’s bad enough without you
Just go away and let me be
Just let me be
Just let me be

Memory fades into the sun
Sayonara
Helplessly the mind becomes undone
As we move onto different planes
Of our existence
We try so hard to cling to what remains
Images flash and then decay
Into the distance
Desperately I wish for you to stay
Although we knew this day would come
I’m not quite ready
Words escape me now I just feel numb
I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you
Memory fades into the sun
Sayonara
Helplessly the mind becomes undone
Although we knew this day would come
I’m not quite ready
Words escape me now I just feel numb
I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you
I won’t forget you

One million crossroads inside my head
My heart is telling me to forget
Yet still it clings to my silhouette
I try to settle on what I need
I know it’s never enough for me
My head is splitting right down the seams

Know your place
Servant to the master
Play along
And you can climb the ladder
But when it starts to break
Those at the bottom
Are the first to burn
And told their fate is earned
While our overlords
Carried on palanquins
Look down and laugh
As we kill for their scraps
And if the hand that feeds still leaves me starving
Don’t be surprised if I decide I’ve had enough
And if the powers that be still leave me hanging
Soon they will find out what it’s like to be undone
Don’t you try to cut out my tongue
I’m not some toy that you can throw away
You beat me like a cornered stray
So now you get the teeth and the fire underneath
(Go!)
Cast aside
Like a tool from last year
Powerless
Security disappears
Still the cogs move on
As if they never
Had use for you
There’s always someone new
But every hand cut loose
Is a new ally
To unfix the rules
We won’t be played for fools
And if the hand that feeds still leaves me starving
Don’t be surprised if I decide I’ve had enough
And if the powers that be still leave me hanging
Soon they will find out what it’s like to be undone
Don’t you try to cut out my tongue
I’m not some toy that you can throw away
You beat me like a cornered stray
So now you get the teeth and the fire underneath
(Go!)
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise
And if the hand that feeds still leaves us starving
Don’t be surprised if we decide we’ve had enough
And if the powers that be still leave us hanging
Soon they will find out what it’s like to be undone
And if the hand that feeds still leaves us starving
Don’t be surprised if we decide we’ve had enough
And if the powers that be still leave us hanging
Soon they will find out what it’s like to be undone
(Go!)

Stuck again
Inside your paradoxical
Toxic paradigm
So persistent
On insisting
That my existence is a crime
All of your words are pollution
You got no solution
Head full of delusion
And lies you hold so true
Treating me like I’m a villain
You gotta be kiddin'
Cause I’m on a mission
To save the world from you
Cause you’re holding me down
You’re holding me down
You’re holding me down
You’re holding me
Holding me
Holding me
Holding me
You can’t stop us this time
I see you tryin' to pull a fast one
Hoping to be the last one standing
Demanding compliance
Trying to silence
Every other voice in the crowd
Drown out our cries and tie us down
While your grip is slipping
On your crown
Desperately fabricating
Your own narrative
Control is imperative
Truth against you is irrelevant
But we don’t break or bend
To your petty intention
Craving attention
Through your transparent deception
Quit pretending you’re the protagonist
Sadistic narcissist
Cause your influence
Is washing away
You oughta fix
Your fixation on yesterday
Your backwards state of mind
Has overstayed it’s time, okay
We look to the horizon
While you plot our demise
And try to disguise
Your lies as some holy crusade
You’ve played too long
And now you’ve gone and dulled your blade
Now it’s only a matter of time
So hurry up and fade away
You're holding me down
You're holding me down

Why am I so afraid
Just to turn a single page
It's hard to be an open book
Cause I'm scared to let you look
And see you turn away
They say everyone has a secret
And I don’t how much longer
I can keep it to myself
Wish I could be somebody else
Soon it’ll all be plain to see
Would you run and hide
If you ever saw my other me
My other me
I don't mean to shut you out
I just can't shake the senseless doubt
Faith's a narrow two way road
And I'm ready to implode
Unless you hear me out
The disguise I wear is suffocating
And I feel like I've been waiting
My whole life to let you know
A side that I rarely get to show
Soon it’ll all be plain to see
Would you run and hide
If you ever saw my other me
Take my hand into a brand new chapter
Is it so wrong to wish for
For my own happily ever after
But first I have to let you through the door
So before I turn the key
Promise me
That you won't run and hide
When you finally see my other me
My other me
Would you run and hide
If you ever saw my other me

Pre-ordained by your hand
To fit into this role
I will trust in your guidance
So I may be made whole
Fill the spaces between
With your wisdom and grace
I will gladly wear the smile
You’ve painted on my face
This doesn’t feel right
Whenever I recite
The lines you put into my head
You say this is me
But a voice disagrees
And warns maybe that I’ve been misled
Dance for me
Dance for me
A cold silhouette
Of a marionette
Is that my own shadow
Dance for me
Dance for me
I’m starting to see
The strings holding me
And I don’t know where to go
Dance for me
Dance for me
I gave you my trust
I just can’t adjust
Is everything I know a lie
Dance for me
Dance for me
The chains that we built
Out of my own guilt
Shackle my eyes
Thrown back into the box
When I step out of line
You assure me that this
Is all according to design
Claiming no complication
Cause you just want what’s best
Every time you put my constitution
To the test
This doesn’t feel right
Whenever I recite
The words you mime onto my lips
And now I’m aware
There’s deceit in the air
So you desperately tighten your grip
Dance for me
Dance for me
A cold silhouette
Of a marionette
Is that my own shadow
Dance for me
Dance for me
I’m starting to see
The strings holding me
And I don’t know where to go
Dance for me
Dance for me
I gave you my trust
I just can’t adjust
Is everything I know a lie
Dance for me
Dance for me
The chains that we built
Out of my own guilt
Shackle my eyes
Dance for me
Dance for me
A cold silhouette
Of a marionette
Is that my own shadow
Dance for me
Dance for me
I’m starting to see
The strings holding me
And I don’t know where to go
Dance for me
Dance for me
I gave you my trust
I just can’t adjust
Is everything I know a lie
Dance for me
Dance for me
The chains that we built
Out of my own guilt
Shackle my eyes
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me
Dance for me

Daydreams play back like distant memories
As I drown in elusive ecstasy
Calling out to me
Show me what I want to see
Intoxicated on a fantasy
Seeking serenity
I am apparently
A little out of harmony
With your reality
Vanishing, vanishing
Intoxicated on a fantasy
Seeking serenity
I am apparently
A little out of harmony
With your reality
Vanishing, vanishing
Intoxicated on a fantasy
Seeking serenity
I am apparently
A little out of harmony
With your reality
Vanishing, vanishing
Intoxicated on a fantasy
Seeking serenity
I am apparently
A little out of harmony
With your reality
Vanishing, vanishing
