transcend beyond the screen
a little lie that I want you to believe
still can't escape the ghost of you
pretend to build the grief
a factory that I forced to bleed
but that was a symptom of my youth
turned on with words beyond our thoughts
we are the gods that no one wants
we've saved our face for far too long
restrain the urge to harm our cause
we weep for what we once had lost
this change is limiting our love
accept I can't perceive
it gets so hard to breathe
I break away so fast
I wash away my everything
we're just not built to last
eyes wide shut to shield the glass
our memories they change
as we channel our past
so dire
it's not too late,
but I can't change it.
designed to die
and I can't take this
designed to die
and I can't take this well
