[Intro]
It's perfect and violent
Rearrange and conjure fear
Selfish and manic
They've taken arms and led us here
Get out of the way
Prepare this place for oblivion
Erase all we've stood for
All that we are; will ever be
[Verse 1]
You were always safe 'till now, safe 'till now
Couldn't catch your fall straight down
Scatter the failed parts of your life, of your life
Could have had two kids and a wife
[Pre-Chorus]
Your life will only be a lie once you kill the monster inside
We are what haunts us at night
Afraid to leave the candle burning all day
Scared it might empty our brains;
That was never my concern
[Chorus]
On holidays, you'll come crawling back
Our little boy is turning blue
He never got enough oxygen
Warn the doctor, we're coming soon
[Bridge]
You went off alone. you went off alone again
You're not on your own; they may look like mannequins
There's no running from, There's no running from the sun
There's no safety here, just blistered skin, from ear to ear
I saw the sun was rising, just leave it in, just leave it in
Another day is coming, let's just pretend, let's just pretend
We are eight again, and the world is ours;
These dreams are ours
Instead, we can't imagine a single one, a single one
We can't imagine a single one
[Verse 2]
Why do we stretch how we're feeling, were feeling?
No one cared enough to take pity
The moon is taking watch of the sky, of the sky
While the sun sleeps through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Your life will only be a lie once you kill the monster inside
We are what haunts us at night
Afraid to leave the candle burning all day
Scared it might empty our brains;
That was never my concern
[Chorus]
On holidays, you'll come crawling back
Our little boy is turning blue
He never got enough oxygen
Warn the doctor, we're coming soon
[Outro]
It's perfect and violent
Rearrange and conjure fear
Selfish and manic
They've taken arms and led us here
Get out of the way
Prepare this place for oblivion
Erase all we've stood for
All that we are; will ever be
