And what if we can't go back. I realize the mistakes I've made, I'm not perfect but I'm trying everyday. At least I'm better than the man I used to be. The streets are so cold tonight, there's nowhere to go. Help me, I can't get out. So tell me the difference between you and me, I am man, you are machine. We all become the same damn things, lifeless droids in a lifeless world. Are you addicted to the animated version of yourself, and are you still not satisfied? I swear, oh I swear, by tomorrow I'll be out of this box, I'll be out of your life. Replace this heart with a mechanical pump, and call me Frankenstein. Re-render these minds, to believe there's no after life. There's no afterlife. I've lost control. Stuck in a haze between positivity and negativity, I live my own personal purgatory. I'd say sorry but I know you all too well, so watch as I drown in this captivating hell. This is not my world. I swear, oh I swear, by tomorrow I'll be out of this box, I'll be out of your life. From man to machine, I'm lost in between.

I was the kid who you'd never expect to be,
who he is today, who he is today.
But mind altering drugs will take you for a spin,
and show you just exactly the mess I'm in.
This is an illness, will it stay or will it go?
My mother asked me, was it the chemicals.
But all along, I was wrong, and now it appears it was all an illusion.
The happiness I once knew is replaced by the chemicals I now do.
It's not worth it.
And you say you say, that it's all gone away.
This feeling of falling deeper.
This is an illness, will it stay or will it go?
My mother asked me, is it the chemicals.
But all along, I was wrong, and now it appears it was all an illusion.
The happiness I once knew is replaced by the chemicals I now do.
It's not worth it.
This mind's captured, in a living hell. I've grown uncertain of whether or not I'd make it out. I've tried, I swear I have. But it's been three fucking years and I'm still not the same. I'd give anything in this world to go back I could fix my mistakes.
(It's not worth it, you are who you are)
Then I wouldn't be sitting here right now feeling my heart race, with tears running down my face. I told myself I'd leave but I must stay for others sake, if only my reality hadn't become so fucking fake. But I must accept this is my new normal, whatever my old normal is this is my new normal. But I can't go on living this way. I must find peace. I must find peace. I must find peace.
Save me.
Take from me whatever you want and we'll call it mutual.
Take from me whatever you want and we'll call it mutual.
Set me free.

This can't last any longer, this feeling of falling deeper. This year the trend I've carried all the time I've spent, wondering if I'm okay, wondering if I'm alright. You could tell me there's nothing wrong with the world today and the people are okay. Well I beg to differ, look around you. Suffocating again let's not pretend, fuck you and give me an end to this daily routine.
Are you still in there?
Are you living beyond repair?
Are you alive, awake, alert.
Astonished that we've made it this far on this place called earth.
Eyes are shutting, no ones listening. Where do we go from here? Burn it down, tear it to the ground. Let's start from scratch, let a new world hatch. Constant worry and hate is always on my minds debate. This can not last any longer, this feeling of falling deeper. Wake up and realize there's still time to make a difference, but you seem paralyzed from your feet to your head. Wait, your just to attached to your bed from all the lies you've been fed, and your means won't justify the ends. Sleepwalker wake up now, sleepwalker wake up now.
Are you still in there?
Are you still living beyond repair?
Are you alive, alert, awake,
Astonished that we've made it this far on this place called earth.
And you could tell me there's no difference between life and death, one is an entrance one is an exit. So tell me why we bury our dead on the same ground we lie, cheat, and steal. The cycle continues, it never ends.This is where I stand my ground.
And all the doubters who told me different were wrong all along.
This can not last any longer, this feeling of falling deeper.
This can not last any longer.

Love, no love. Here in this place, God-forsaken place.
I look across this toxic wasteland, there is nothing for miles.
So I ask myself, what is the point? The point of progression, when all I face is oppression. So I pick up the bottle, just to lose my mind. For just one moment, I feel fine.
I look across this toxic wasteland, there is nothing for miles.
Constellations, constellations guide me home I look at the sky and realize I'm all alone. I'm all alone. Constellations guide me home I am on my own. Don't believe what you see, don't believe what they tell you.
I wanna know all the deepest darkest secrets there are to hold, I want to live my life and watch my dreams unfold.
Lets look what's inside, universe open wide. Lets look what's inside universe open wide.
Nothing, fuck there's nothing. Something, people think there's something more.
Constellations, constellations guide me home I look at the sky and realize I'm all alone. I'm all alone. Constellations guide me home I am on my own. Don't believe what you see, don't believe what they tell you.
Don't believe what you see, don't believe what they tell you.
