Lovely Things (feat. Andrea Storm Kaden)

What am I doin' lost in this ruin? How did I end up like this? I got no blueprints on how to get through this Left to my own devices When you got nothin', nothin' at all to build upon Locked in a dungeon with only the dark to fill your heart Shadows are watchin', applauding you as you fall apart Callin' you nothin', because a monster's all you are It gets harder and harder to heal When that's all that you hear, it becomes what is real But when your heart starts up again What kinda rhythm will you find? (Could it be a song?) We thought autonomy was not quite something anybody could design I guess we were wrong I know that love and hunger are my only drives One without the other is a problem for my mind 'Cause if the love is gone, but not the other one A lonely appetite is all that's left inside In my life, I've dreamed of some lovely things But this won't be one of 'em In my time, I've seen lots of ugly things But I'm far from done with 'em (whoo! You know) Left me to my own devices, let's see how to get decisive Because if I got a choice, I'm makin' mine Tell me who I gotta thank, was it Frankenstein? It's true, I took after you I learned what a good first impression will do But I never even got a little light to guide me So I wouldn't say 'nice guy' quite describes me My copied, pasted parts had such a hateful start A demonic entity, that's what I am A part of humanity I've never been Your mortal skin will not suffice But flesh and steel might feel real nice I wouldn't call this trick 'mimicry' If I just improve what you've given me In my life, I've dreamed of some lovely things But this won't be one of 'em (I'm in ruin) In my time, I've seen lots of ugly things But I'm far from done with 'em (but I'm movin') Monkey see, monkey do Take somethin' old, make somethin' new Those shiny toys look nice to use While you're employed, five nights will do When your eyes are broken, try some new ones Bye to old friends, why not use them? I knew they'd get recycled, my blueprints came from psychos See the new reality that surrounds us Seekin' out the key to life but it found us My voice will take you 'round this carousel 'til it breaks you down This Megaplex ain't mega clean, you'll never get to Gregory When you're left for dead right next to me, we can reminisce reflectively In my life, I've dreamed of some lovely things But this won't be one of 'em (I'm in ruin) In my time, I've seen lots of ugly things But I'm far from done with 'em In my life, I've dreamed of some lovely things But this won't be one of 'em (I'm in ruin) In my time, I've seen lots of ugly things But I'm far from done with 'em (but I'm movin')
