Harsh Augmented Reality

[Verse 1]

Fascinated with the delusions I fabricate

I can't create, obliterate so stuck beneath the

Pressures that I instigate

I should be grateful

I am quite amazed

That I'm awake to give away my time to contemplate and

I wish I could tell you things are gonna be okay

But we know it's not the same

I want to tell you that I know that you can change

But you still drive your friends away

You've got to live with the decisions that you've made

Sometimes burned bridges just can't be remade

But be thankful that it wasn't too late

Your wake up call has come today

I shan't be wasteful

My soul I've got to save

I piece together an image of

The relationships I've laid to waste

Tired and tasteful

I can't afford to wait

Life's a procession that begins around the corner from the grave Absurdity is all it is and then we're gone too fast

Felicity I strive for but it always waits beyond my grasp

In a foggy haze a holy being intensifies

And I pray to her to take me

And I beg for her to save me from myself

And the selfishness with which I dug my grave

Loneliness can't be my only fate

Avoiding ourselves does not keep us safe

Loneliness can't be my only fate

I wish I could tell you things are gonna be okay

But we know it's not the same

I want to tell you that I know that you can change

But you still drive your friends away

You got to live with the decision that you made

Sometimes burnt bridges can't be remade

But be thankful that it wasn't too late

Your wake up call has come today

I just wish that you would only stay

It's only you that you now have to face
