I feel it slowly taking part of me

A part of me

I fear the reins, I've lost control

I've lost control

I try to tell myself I don't believe

I don't believe

You laughed and asked me for my soul

Guess I thought you should know

You should know

That the climb feels worse than the fall

The fall

That I cut my own brakes when I stall

Surrender to me

I'll build you up then break you down

I set fire to the exit

Exit

Build a folly to a faithless architect

Embrace the entropy

I push you in to tear you out

Floating in my thoughts again

Again

Dreaming myself awake

It's like I'm falling for the highs that I crave

I crave

But outside, it's all decay, yeah

E-E-E-Every night, I escape to where I'm meant to be

Laid alone, yet I'm sleeping with the enemy

It's nothing new to me

It pulls me in to see me drown

Floating in my thoughts again

Again

Dreaming myself awake

It's like I'm falling for the highs that I crave

I crave

But outside, it's all decay, yeah

Turn the lights out, short the circuitry

I'm the god-king of this purgatory

I'm the ghost in your machinery

"What do you want?"

I want you 'cause you're already me

Killing the phantom that keeps you alive

Alive

Alive

Alive
