living a dream of someone else's life

Written in neon across the sky

We can see what you're trying to hide

And as the atmosphere burns away

We fall in love with the ruins of decay

As we see all the dust clear
All we know is left to ash

Always we're alright
We're put in numbers for a dozen per dime

Molded and fashioned
We're the data set to synthesize

Modeled and managed
We're dropping bodies to optimize

Frozen and sampled
We crash on loading from our down time

Wounded and stranded
A ship of Theseus within our minds

Compiled and reckless
We are the past of eventual crime

You're hardwired to live in a lie
Mapping patterns you see in your mind
You're taught a lesson every day you die
And this is where we begin to rise

But a spirit wakes inside of me
And shares a thought of what should be

Though I'm a slave to my bondage
I've got unyielding will to be free

Because what I don't own
You can't take away from me
And what I don't have
You can't hold against me

There's a spirit that cries inside of me
Over the people who paid the cost

The rest of us left alive
Are the shameless double crossed

Because what I don't own
You can't take away from me
And what I don't have
You can't hold against me

I just wanted to reach out
To know I'm not along
But now I see we're all the same
Right down to the bone

You take the mind to edge and back to frustration
You make body tense within contemplation

Anyone who know anything
knows you shouldn't go that far

And anyone who wants to live a life
Knows the sun in just a star

Its wearing thin on me, lost reality

Wanted by desire losing everything

Anyone who know anything
knows you shouldn't go that far

And anyone who wants to live a life
Knows the sun in just a star

And this is my impasse at present
That I could never learn to forget
And If I never question
I'll never live with the regret

Seamless and dreaming
I can't tear this apart
Solid and feeling
This is my broken heart

For every dream that rocks the world
Is sending energy to outer space

And every clash of broken glass
Reminds me of your face

But now you've told me about out protector

And how we've broken through our creation

I'd hate to see us fall so far

Through all the unspoken conjecture

So when you're adding up all it will take
Add enough for the inevitable fate

'Cause we are so much more evolved
We are more than we could ever be
I'd give it all for you next to me
I don't want to deny this again
And so I'll try to tell you the truth
I'm afraid that this all will end

And now that its all come out
Its been so long since I've said these words

And now that its all come out
We can keep on living in denial

When the world comes crashing down
And the dust becomes a glow
You can't stand the pain of me
I know we're living in the wall
That's why the fault will take us all

I fear the world is like a child
The pain is built out of fumes

I can't stand the sight of you
When I'm entirely consumed

So when my world comes crashing down
And I feel so fucking proud
When my eyes go mechanical
I shoot the stars and aim for God

So fuck the stars and aim for God

I'm thinking about a vagrant memorandum
That is phasing out today

I'm planning to deplete our face in tandem
With a chemical array

Raise your Hands (An Inquiry of though)
Asking questions to find (Relative quantifier)
Sever demands (No time but present)
Seek the journey of crime (Dishonor multiplier)

I'm storing for the last warm summer
After Earth will melt to black

I'm dreaming on a new place for angels
Where humans won't attack

Raise your Hands (An Inquiry of though)
Asking questions to find (Relative quantifier)
Sever demands (No time but present)
Seek the journey of crime (Dishonor multiplier)

You're not a pleasant mind
Nor a person to worship

You're not a friend to us
You're just a plague to the planet

Fragments of data and shadows of pain
In this machine we're all insane
No blood or breath, just constant grind
We're all the cogs crushed to unwind

Fractal data and echoes of fear
The faulty kernel driven on edge
No sense of self just bland ambition
We're set to bed in the iron covers

We're getting off on getting wrecked
To burn a crucifix into our chest

Our wires pray to never break
A digital messiah we'll never forsake

Metal hearts beating in time
To a coded paradigm

We sacrifice all we used to be
To be reborn from circuitry

We kneel before our solid state

For a life we can't escape

Those little demons, cursing your name
Suck on your pussy, pointing in shame
Corrupted moments, Laying an egg
To fruit the animal played and game

Well I can tell by the way that you look at me
You've got a critical fault in your eye
I can see through the shadow of night
there's something rotten eating you alive

What you see is never what you get
When you only deal in respect
One hand delivered in faith
We have become an un-human race

Well I can tell by the way that you look at me
You've got a critical fault in your eye
I can see through the shadow of night
there's something rotten eating you alive

You can't stomach the filth anymore
Shivering naked in the cleansing light
Its not the same world anymore
We're living proof of the shattered sky

Like a raging storm
Raining down sheets of oppression
Casting bolts of depression
As their world becomes torn

Like a grand piano
Playing hard on those strings

With just enough dedication
To ride it on the line

No presence of confrontation
Can live without our magnetism
Positive and Negative
Become divided depending on desire

Call it black or white
Call it pros and cons
Call it the mighty ultimatum
Call it the fucking bomb

Could be utter annihilation
Is better than choosing a side

But in this perfect equation
If you don't fight, you die

No presence of confrontation
Can live without our magnetism
Positive and Negative
Become divided depending on desire

'Cause I got a secret to share with you
I locked the door and trashed the key
I cannot guess what you're gunna do
But its gotta take a soul away from me

I'm not gunna take it anymore
These dreams and lives are over now
I'm sure the worst will pass us by
But I can't care about it anyhow

There's no chances I would lie to you
But I know there's plenty hidden from me
There's no secrets I would keep from you
But the truth is something that I can't see

Its just a waltz on down the dark side
Of our corruption and crime

There's a cause for the sun to rise
Passing from time to time

Long ago the Earth was alone
But that moment has come to an end

The stars are cold on an alien throne
With a warning no one could send

Its just a waltz on down the dark side
Of our corruption and crime

There's a cause for the sun to rise
Passing from time to time

A long time has gone so fast
And nothing is new

Every time we change the past
Its so quick, I hardly knew
