[Verse]

I tell myself

The pain is chemical it’s not real, but still I feel

Like I’m alone inside a dream

I can’t wake up to scream

That I’m not asleep

Are we just machines

Are we just cruel beasts

We put ourselves through war and peace

The knife in front don’t cut as deep

The villain dies

The hero weeps

[Bridge]

All these years of

Internet strangers

Debating dangers

How much you got done up in those echo chambers

How much just anger?

How many shootings stopped

How many brand new angels

You seen that person die today?

Well here’s a different angle

And we’re the biggest cause of all our biggest problems

Cause we got flaws that we don’t acknowledge

So then we bottle 'em, they get forgotten

And then one day we just explode

Our egoes hold us hostage

Self-aware but it’s still there regardless

And so I wonder what’s still missing

What’s a view without the vision

What if God has no religion?

Human beings all the same but still there’s levels to existence

Nothing ever changes somehow everything is different

[Outro]

The blind praise

A one-eyed king

Not me

The crown lays at my feet

In pieces

You keep reaping what you sow

So to speak

Oh wait, no way, overthrew the rulers

Cold day, both ways, and she with medusa

Slide up, eyes shut, I can see the future

Everyone in this movie, in this movie

Oh wait, no way, overthrew the rulers

Cold day, both ways, and she with medusa

Slide up, eyes shut, I can see the future

Everyone in this movie dies
