lyrics

create a better person
create a better dream
create yourself without their help
then give yourself to me
we'll crucify the worlds
we'll poison all the skies
we'll turn this language inside out
and speak it in disguise
i see the heart inside of you
reveal yourself in light
surround yourself inside of me
and terminate the night
the screen is hiding something
i live inside a lie
the sex is never precious
but i can't let you die

there's nothing sacred at all about the life i have led
appearing interested while lying upon your bed
one thousand pictures of you, your face is always the same
expressing everything in tones but you're still so vain

we'll float here in the silence
and breath against the glass
pretend that we are make believe
cause this will never last
you can't be made of flesh
you cannot be alive
you cannot cut the cable
cause without it i can't survive

the phone line's fucking dead now
the wire's in my mind
ill burn the fucking circuitry
ignite myself alive
the embers glowing brighter
they're brighter than your eyes
a senseless act of martyrdom
i'm all that you despise
unnecessary actions
i loved but not for you
obsessed with all the emptiness
i only loved the view
you never cared for caution
you only like the game
we are not two but we are used
i guess we're just the same

there's nothing sacred at all about the life i have led
appearing interested while lying upon your bed

if i am smothered at all, ill just replace you instead
all this compassion just reactions inside my head
you never really thought that id run away
you always thought id wait for another day
braindead in your arms but i won't comply
another cluster of pixels
reflected in your eyes
