lyrics

V-1
System absorption
Endorphins on starships
I'm nauseous...
But I've orphaned my conscious
I can taste the night
Let's lace it right
I don't wanna remember
What it's face is like

Pre-Chorus
Cause I don't wanna think
And I don't wanna focus
I don't need no shrink
To tell me the prognosis
Don't ask me no questions
Cause I'mma probably lie
I'm just trying not to
Trying not to...

Chorus
Trying not to die (4x)

V-2
I sink into an ocean of regret
If I drink this potion I'll forget
If I sniff distortion I'll repress
This black stone that's orbiting my chest
I walk along the darkest depths
A thousand thoughts and all distressed
I think the walls are closing in
I feel the claws across my neck
Undress the night
We all are naked
We try to hide
But nothing's sacred

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
When the sun fades from the skyline
(The light shall fade away)
The kingdom of the night shall rise
(And the dark will take it’s place)
Electricity in their eyes
(It’ll burn to the inside)
And I'll become just like them (just like them) to survive.

Pre-Chorus

Chorus
