If we were meant to be, more than static, Why do I feel like noise? Does that sound dramatic? Can we ever return to the way things were Or will we always be lost, wandering And you said nothing, but never looked away And you said nothing, but never looked at me I saw the shape of the world, come apart It leaves me nothing, lying on the floor Can we ever return to the way things were Or will we always be lost, wandering the earth And though I’ve never tried to leave this place The world is slowly losing it’s taste And though I never tried to reach this place The world is slowly fading I saw the shape of the world, come apart It leaves me nothing, lying on the floor Can we ever return to the way things were Or will we always be lost, wandering the earth

I’ve been watching myself sleep again From the back of the room and the back of my head And I’m feeling trapped again In a body made of gold and lead Is this really culture or is this just a cult? Watching the screen flicker and the tv fizzle out I wish my life had just been a fantasy So maybe I could dream again Breathe in and feel disconnected Just to forget what it was like on the ground I’ve been watching myself sleep again From the back of the room and the back of my head And I’m feeling trapped again In a body made of gold and lead Third floor, eyes closed, closing the curtains Third floor, eyes closed, would I do it again? Third floor, eyes closed, closing the curtains Third floor, eyes closed, would I do it again? Is this really culture or is this just a cult? Watching the screen flicker and the tv fizzle out I wish my life had just been a fantasy So maybe I could dream again

You draw lines in the sand, with a spear made of glass and wait for it to shatter, because you know it won’t last Stranded on this island you made out of crystal and caskets Do we always fall in crumbling castles, ones built so high we should of known they’d be disasters? So tell me another lie to help me handle the truth, of being a stranger to everything but loneliness You’ve lost touch, between your fingers and the glass The ambience of plastic that never seems to last Honest eyes, gazing at a place that we lost Fostering the feeling Here we are watching the same old show again, searching for a meaning but did we really know ourselves? Do we always fall in crumbling castles, ones built so high we should of known they’d be disasters? So tell me another lie to help me handle the truth, of being a stranger to everything but loneliness You’ve lost touch, between your fingers and the glass The ambience of plastic that never seems to last Honest eyes, gazing at a place that we lost Fostering the feeling So tell me lies, I don’t think I can handle the truth So tell me lies, I don’t think I ever could Do we always fall in crumbling castles, ones built so high we should of known they’d be disasters? So tell me another lie to help me handle the truth, of being a stranger to everything but loneliness So tell me lies, I don’t think I can handle the truth So tell me lies, I don’t think I ever could

I’m blind, TV eyes I sever ties I’m sick, on the floor Wrapped in cords When I look at you I see numbers I can’t even count too When I see me, I see me, I can only feel zeros I tried Binary implies two Part of a machine that I’m sworn too Blue screen, open seams I’m dreaming EMP, Is this really me Prayers in plastic Worthless toys, made of noise I hear your voice Flickering, CRT Prayers in static When I look at you I see numbers I can’t even count too When I see me, I see me, I can only feel zeros I tried

Were you hurt when the wires dug in your skin Burrowing so deep within you Did you find something was missing? And that’s why you let them in I’m sure you must’ve felt something When you tried to dream, and you wished that you could sleep longer When you said those things, loneliness never made you stronger Tell me you felt something With the blinds closed, clinging to the bed Tell me you felt something Tell me anything I’m sure you must’ve felt something Did you hurt when you felt nameless and alone Your only identity scribbled in code Did you find something was missing? An empty room you call home I’m sure you must’ve felt something Tell me you felt something With the blinds closed, clinging to the bed Tell me you felt something Tell me anything I’m sure you must’ve felt something When you tried to dream, and you wished that you could sleep longer When you said those things, loneliness never made you stronger
