I know I should have wound up dead
I'm holding on by threads
My wrists are tied above my head
Is this what trial by fire feels like
Blame
There's blood upon my name
I know my efforts are in vain
I'm only waiting for the lightning strike
The beast inside of me refuses to let go
This isn't real
This can't be real
I'm just an ember in the flame
One thousand lives all lived the same
Don't ever tell me how to feel
Tampered reality is real
Fear
There's ringing in my ears
My pessimism has appeared
I'm certain that I won't be mourned for
Staged
I'm trapped inside a cage
That I've created from my rage
I'm still awakened by the thunderstorm
I can't take back my life cause I'm already dead
This isn't real
This can't be real
I'm just an ember in the flame
One thousand lives all lived the same
Don't ever tell me how to feel
Tampered reality is real
Don't ever tell me how to feel
Tampered reality is real
