lyrics

Unknown and I’m lost in the game
I’m a victim of safety
I’m bored and I’m safely
Passing by
An invisible pawn
To invisible gods
Who keep moving the board around

This time I have opened my eyes
I don’t want to die
I’m learning to be alive
I’m broken but open to change
I’m learning the game,
But I don’t want to just survive

I’m tired of the new paradigm
I’m a victim of plenty
I’m bored and I’m gently
Killing time
Hoping for a short end
And I can’t find a friend
That relates consequently

This time I have opened my eyes
I don’t want to die
But I don’t think I feel alive
I’m broken but open to change
I’m learning the game,
But I don’t want to just survive

I’m healing and hoping to stay
I don’t want to stray
but I don’t know how not to strive
I’m done navigating the lies
I don’t want to die
But I don’t want to be alive

I don’t want to die
But I don’t want to be alive
I don’t want to die
But I don’t want to be alive
I don’t want to die
But I don’t want to be oh

I prayed that this wasn’t a sham
But it feels like a scam
And we celebrate scammers
Now that I have no money to take
I can see who’s the fake
And they will not be taking

My great works are inside my head
They will lie with me dead
I will die in great debt
And it’s all okay,
even though you think not
But I am sick of your thoughts
What you worship will ALSO ROT

I’m burning just trying to remain
There’s no point to the pain
But I don’t know how not to strive
I’m pushing the stone up the hill
And the future is nil
And there’s no path in which I thrive

I can’t wait until it’s my time
I’m tired of the trying
I don’t want to just survive
The drive is extinguished inside
I don’t want to die
But I don’t want to be alive

I can’t wait until it’s my time
The state of line
And the way that we live’s a crime
I don’t think we’re gonna survive
I don’t want to die
But I don’t want to be alive

I don’t want to die
And I don’t want to be alive

The Ugly Facade

We live our lives in boxes, with little glowing screens. We fill our blood with toxins, so we can deal with things. And sometimes, more than often, the bitter masks the taste. The fruitless failed reflection: what if it's all a waste?
