Flicker buffer defect glitch

Sometimes I wake up life feels like a video game

Like I'm nothing but a trope with no real story to my name

Just a thoughtless bad decision and a means to an end

Call it what you want but we were never fucking friends

Life just hands you lemons to be squeezed into your wounds

No sugar for the burning only spitting on your tomb

As life keeps passing by I've learned its lessons overdue

It's a bitter pill to swallow life's a bitch and so are you

Yeah!

Maybe when I wake up, I am still asleep

Life is so oneiric when your dreams are all you keep

Let's go play a game build ourselves a nice disguise

We'll make a character and bury you inside of lies

An NPC a façade of humanity

When you look into the mirror what is it that you can see

Do you know the bittersweetness the taste of defeat

Existence is a riddle wrapped in layers of deceit

Maybe dreams are the reality and when I wake I'm dreaming

And the ringing from the silence is much louder than my screaming

And I'm the only one who can ever make me cry

I command my tears my own hand my own disguise

Why do I fall in love with all the things that bring me pain

I like to flirt with misery with nothing left to gain

Nothing is worth keeping and nothing's as it seems

Dysphoric rumination and a raw visceral scream

Ahhhhh!

Use me break me manipulate me

Hold me blame me won't you save me

Play your game set the score leave me be

I'll rewrite the rules bring you down on your knees

Just a puppet in a scheme, a nightmare not a dream

Life's a bitch and so it goes, a chapter I will gladly close

Maybe dreams are the reality and when I wake I'm dreaming

And the ringing from the silence is much louder than my screaming

And I'm the only one who can ever make me cry

I command my tears my own hand my own disguise

Why do I fall in love with all the things that bring me pain

I like to flirt with misery with nothing left to gain

Nothing is worth keeping and nothing's as it seems

Dysphoric rumination and a raw visceral scream

I'm not here for your character development

I play your games for my own entertainment

I'll write this act for a day where there is hope

That I write my own story and I am not a trope

Is it all a dream?

Let's go spiral down yeah in my thoughts I drown

Then I hit the ground my mind in full meltdown

Dancing in a field between delusion and confusion

A fantasy infusion just beyond the world's intrusion

They say to just be happy like it's just a simple switch

But life is not a game there is no cheat there is no glitch

Spinning in a vortex where a lie and dreams collide

Shifting to a nightmare in the gutter of my mind

Is it all a dream?
