lyrics

lost - don't want to be found
take away my vision - all i wanna be is sound
darkness - walk away from the light
never liked the sun - just give me permanent night
sink in - swallow me whole
origami landscapes its my turn to fold
this painted canvas - i want to deface it
forbidden fruit - i'm dying to taste it
i just need to feel something new
but i don't want to feel anything that isn't you
best of intentions but i'm getting off track
ever since i walked away i've had those dreams of going back
and i crawl - traveling on broken glass
“am i happy” is a question that i rarely seem to ask myself
tough skin but these shards will get past
any move i make might just be my last

fade out - i don’t know who i am
but i'm running really fast yeah catch me if you can
i'm strung out - time flies when you’re running away
i'm strung out - time flies but every day stays the same
black out - i don't know where i am
the room is spinning really fast yeah catch me if you can
i'm strung out - on everyone else
i'm strung out - on being myself

ugly people - everywhere i look
sex deprived egomaniacs with sharp hooks
just looking for a catch but nothing's ever good enough
when your mediocre social status doesn't add up
nobody's happy - lukewarm at best
we all have too many things we need to get off of our chests
we all have a voice - we all want to be heard
but we reserve our listening only for the most absurd
money and drugs - violence and scandal
all of the power that our genitals can handle
i want it bad - it’s right within my reach
want to drag it home and spread it all over my sheets
my good intentions are starting to corrode
i’d rather be in a maze than on this one way road
where am i going? i don’t wanna know
burn this roof over my head - my body is my only home

is everyone crazy or is it just me
am i victim of bad luck or reality
is the world really this dark or am i too blind to see
that the only ugly thing in this world is me
