Elective Amnesia

We don't sleep very much

These triggers ache for the touch

Where's the strenght we relied on?

We're alone like a crutch

Maybe thats what keeps us up

All night with the light on

How we scream, simulate, eyes that no longer take place

Can this be what we've become?

Paperthin, overweight, pills that arouse use and take

Still we don't know we won.

We can't let go

Can't you see?

To loose control

Is to be

Finally free!

First a spark, then a flame

Now a fire, we explode

Into the darkest of nights

Disconnect, cut the cord

Lights are dead, no they'll know

With everything comes a price

And each day we are torn

Between the right and the wrong

Between life and convinience

Why do sleep? Why complain?

Theres always channels to change

It's fucking elective amnesia.

As we grow older, in this place

It's just not over, not to race

What they meant

First a spark, then a flame

Now a fire, we explode

Into the darkest of nights

Disconnect, cut the cord

Lights are dead, no they'll know

With everything comes a price

It could be minutes away

It could be hours or days

Before the bottom falls out

Before the ground gives away

Into this debt we are born

A debt we try to repay

And now we blacken the sky

Smoke rising out of our flames

Now they'll know

First a spark, then a flame

Now a fire, we explode

Into the darkest of nights

Disconnect, cut the cord

Lights are dead, no they'll know

With everything comes a price

(First a spark, then a flame, now a fire)

We Explode, we explode

With everything comes a price

We explode, we explode
