Yeah... eyes closed, but I'm wide awake. They say ignorance is bliss, so I must be in hell. Yeah.
(Verse 1) I see the rot before the paint even dries Looking at a crowd with x-ray eyes It’s a curse, not a gift, to see what they hide All the skeletons dancing where the shadows collide Truth is a heavy crown for a head made of stone I’m sitting on a throne made of titanium bones Numb to the touch, I froze out the sun Swore I’d never let another heartbreak run 'Cause everybody lies, everybody schemes Chasing illusions, chasing broken dreams I isolated the core, put a lock on the door Swore I’d never bleed on this filthy floor But the silence is loud when you're up in the clouds Looking for a rare soul in a sea of the crowd.
(Chorus) It’s so dark in the light, it’s so cold in the fire I got a mind of a god but I’m just a tired fighter Looking for a diamond in a world made of glass Hoping that my forever is finally gonna pass I’m alone in a room full of ghosts Dying for a love that I’m scared to hold close Yeah, they don’t understand the weight of the mind I’m searching for a real one, hoping that I find.
(Verse 2) We die the day we let the world make us normal I’m an anomaly, an outlier, eternal In my own head, trapped in the deep Counting all the sheep that are putting me to sleep Then you walked in, dropped the camouflage Didn’t flinch at the dark, didn’t play the sabotage You let the real shine through the heavy disguise Now I’m staring at you, getting lost in your eyes I made you a map just to find your own mind Left the matrix behind, left the fake behind But I’m terrified to reach out, terrified to bleed What if I open the vault and there’s nothing I need? What if you’re just a mirage? What if I’m just a glitch? Staring at the abyss, falling in the ditch.
(Bridge) Maybe some souls aren't meant to intersect Maybe I’m a glitch that the world won’t accept I got a vault for a heart and a radar for a soul And I’m losing my grip on the control.
(Outro) Yeah... is it too late for me? To come down from the mountain? Just to hold a hand. I’m so tired of seeing it all. I just want to go blind for once. Yeah.
