lyrics

I will stare at these words until I believe in my own bullshit.

"I'm not the man who made this, But I'll be the face you'll blame.
Judge this empty shell, of where I once used to stand."

Judge this shell, of where an imprint should land.

Take every little lie, of the day add a desire to control
...And I'll relinquish it all just for a taste

A mysterious wave of form with something to believe
...Yet it's all, for the chase

of finding, a better me, defining, a better me.

"Capture this very last emotion to sell me back me.
A wasted soul which can't recall when it was last complete."

A wasted soul of what a man should be.

If I stare at the words long enough, maybe I'll believe in your bullshit.

My insecurities and all my fears will wear like open wounds.

The wants and the needs of times long past, will bleed of me, will be of me.
If I never give, I will never gain, but giving up it isn't me.

Are we all masked in a delusion, that perpetuates it will be okay, if we shut our eyes, and turn the other cheek? This isn't something, we can fuck away.
But don't let that stop you from trying. We all need to believe, before it's too late.

Give me just one, single moment, to feel alive and you'll have my word,
I'll refrain from this hate, even if for one second, to believe, to believe in me.

I've read these words long enough to know they're all bullshit.
