[Verse 1]

Cold, no emotion felt

An ocean sinking into itself

Far down I go, 'til I'm someone else

And every dream is a hollow shell


[Bridge]

A lost soul, I forfeit control to be with you

Whatever it takes to please you

With blood that I've sold, I'll do what I'm told

Now until forever

A lost soul, I forfeit control to be with you

Whatever it takes to please you

I swear to do what I'm told, with blood that I've sold

Now until forever


[Pre-Chorus]

These faces keep fading


[Chorus]

Pray to the ones that keep you safe

Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven

As gods speak through us, suicidal sights rеmain

These apparitions have blurrеd our vision, conflicted


[Verse 2]

But we were born to create

I feel a yearning for what lies beyond the charade, it calls my name

The words escape from the page

And now I struggle to recall

Why I found myself here in the first place


[Bridge]

Hold your breath for spirits to bring you to life

Wait for death and realize you've wasted your time

Unsaturated and stranded inside

A world without any meaning, so I

Hold my breath for spirits to bring me to life

Whatever brings us to...

Life!

Bring us to life!


[Chorus]

Pray to the ones that keep you safe

Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven

As gods speak through us, suicidal sights remain

These apparitions have blurred our vision, conflicted

Pray to the ones that keep you safe

Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven

As gods speak through us, suicidal sights remain

These apparitions have blurred our vision, conflicted


[Bridge]

These faces keep fading

Memories not worth saving

Complacent, eyes vacant

All colors dissipating


[Verse 3]

But we were born to create

I feel a yearning for what lies beyond the charade, it calls my name

The words escape from the page

And now I struggle to recall

Why I found myself here in the first place
