Spending time for a hopeless future
Not a care for subtlety
The only way to bring us closer
Is to let our minds separate
The air is full of meaning
But it costs a life just breath
We’re cast away without an s.o.s.
We are cast away
Just keep sleeping
Live like you never lived before
On your own
It’s been so many years since what I made for you has become
So much more
Why am I here
This was no invitation
I can’t get used to this
I won’t get used to this
Don’t believe everything you hear
Run
Listen to me when I say
Run
I thought we were the future
Just give me some time to myself
Just give me a life to myself
Just keep sleeping
Live like you never lived before
On your own
It’s been so many years since what I made for you has become
So much more
This flood is not a flood till all the boats have sunk
I’ve got a message for you
So read it long
Read it loud
I am real
And I am here for you

Pressure to outlast the others
Find any way to outlast the best
Expect the praise of those around you
Who’s who to care when there’s no one left
Nothing becomes the only motive
Climbing and climbing into your lonesome at the top
Fearless to spend your whole left just to
Defeat, repeat, defeat, repeat; an infinite cycle
Wasting all of your life just to tell the whole world your morals
Failing communication, forget it all
Patiently waiting for another crack, another crack in the ice
Our eyes open wide to close in on reality
Patiently waiting for another crack, another crack in the ice
Our eyes open wide to close in on the enemy
Overcome: Tearing down the wall
Overdose: Tear it down
Overrun: Tearing down the wall
Overthrow: Tear it down
Overcome: Marching through the wall
Overdose: Marching
Overrun: Marching through the wall
Overthrow: Marching on
Pressure to make the right sacrifice
These hands were not meant to be bloodstained
Every life is a pawn on the chessboard
Mankind is my career
Get to the top, Get to the top scrambling
Get to the top, Get to the top to breathe
(I am alone)
Kill what we have made for ourselves, what we have done for this world
Crisis: Freedom is what freedom does
And if a home is a just a place to untangle our minds,
Then this Earth is just a place to give up the fight
My power is nothing but a flicker in the flame that I have created
To take control; to gain stability; to find a conclusion
All of these I have longed for knowing that they will never be achieved
To measure my success is to measure a continuous line
I will find an end to this. I will be the end to this.
My life is the only breathing thing that’s left
But no one is here to watch me live it
My life is the only breathing thing that’s left
But no one is here to watch me live it
My life is the only thing that’s breathing
The world will call out my name and rejoice, rejoice with a deafening silence
The world will call out my name and rejoice

I am alone in this world
I can feel it folding on me
Traced back to the hole in my head when I was alive
Everything I dreamed of shattered on the walls
What is the point of this life
Without a meaning
Piece me back together
From the inside out
I’ve grown so close to distance
I am the motivator
I decide what’s real or not
Blankness fills the room and it’s bleeding
Into my judgment
I look for a hand to reach for
And drown myself in empty space
Searching for another one like me
Won’t be alone, won’t be lonely
Why can’t I be God?
A life to myself; a home to myself
Why can’t I be God?
A life to myself; a home to my own self
I am nothing but a man
My body becomes the room as
Reality splits my brain in two
Tell myself this is just a dream but my
Life is nothing different
I look for a hand to reach for
And drown myself in empty space
Searching for another one like me
Won’t be alone, won’t be lonely
I walk alone with no hand by my side
I need to rid this drone, calm myself and be still
This place is an empty place to be
I need a solid state, I need a remedy
He is a motive
That’s cleansing my mind; creating life in a hollow room
A motivation
For everything; Creating faith in a desperate being
He is an ocean that will return my soul to sea
Showing me more of myself than I will ever be
A motivation to live like my life’s just begun
To end this solitude and answer the question
Why can’t I be God?
And conquer everything
Why can’t I be God?
And always be alone

We’ve built a structure out of our aspirations
Herded like sheep to be the only one of its kind
Take off the blindfold but cover my ears
This isn’t us this isn’t us. We’ve just become a piece of
Art by machines
A living breathing
Art by machines
Just another engine
Art by machines
A living breathing
Art by machines
Just another
I tell myself to keep my feet on the ground, feet on the ground but
We’re running in circles this will never end
Ideas held below the surface. Our eyes
Will have to shut them out
Lifeless repeats of the hollow, drowned in smoke
We won’t be buried by an imitation
Breeding, reshaping, to find what we’re really made for
This is all we have to give
Come from the heart
Leave from the lungs
These gears won’t turn anymore
Living inside myself to hide from my head
These gears won’t turn anymore
Rebuild me, Restore me
And I open my eyes and see nothing but fakes
Giving birth to cures that will end this plague
To breathe life back into our faded world
Breaking, cleansing, to finally create
This is our world now
Come from the heart
Leave from the lungs
These gears won’t turn anymore
Living inside myself to hide from my head
These gears won’t turn anymore
Rebuild me, Restore me
