I had been stuck inside a dream
Where an illness was a treat
Because the medicine had never been so sweet
But now I'm waking up today
To find the words I knew were changed
And it churns my stomach and makes my body ache
Ignore, insult
Invent a mask designed to hide behind
(Mask designed to hide)
Your second face has never looked so nice
Restrain, reset
Return to breaking mirrors with your mind
(Mirrors with your mind)
For your counterfeited life
Although we walk the thinnest line
And though the fear is so alive I'll try
To redefine the flaws in our design
While I was unaware my frame of mind
Could be quantified
I turn to golden statues
Just to find that they have hollow insides
And as a matter of fact
I'll walk through hell and back
To stop the panic attacks I get while your away
Because it's what I wish for night and
Days go by
Where I can't find the air to speak the
Words you can't
Ignore, insult
Invent a labyrinth designed to hide
(Maze designed to hide)
The beast that you can't seem to
Restrain, reset
And I'll return the favor by
Raising your poison glass
But I won't drink to that
Although we walk the thinnest line
And though the fear is so alive I'll try
To redefine the flaws in our design
While I was unaware my frame of mind
Could be quantified
I turn to golden statues
Just to find that they have hollow insides
So swipe at me with crystal knives
I'm not a part of this invisible fight
You think is justified and calculated
When all it's been is manipulated
You're captivated but it's in your mind
And I don't understand why you're wasting your fucking time
Keep on misleading the world
And you'll get what you deserve
The taste from eating your words
Has no cure
