The Artificial

Hand me your lies

Hand me my keys

You have to give it all up

When you realize

What you're leaving behind

I wish I was lost

But this was an alternate destination

Watch life flash before your eyes and

hope for the best

Even in this well-lit room

Where you lay down to rest

You still cast a shadow that stabs you in the back

This all began so well

and was the longest spiral

Downward I've ever felt.

You would've been the death of me

if I stuck around much longer

These months of sickness felt like I

was sleeping six feet underground

You can't tell the difference between what's real and not

Find the truth or you will lose yourself forever

I know it's not all your fault

I knew early on what I was getting myself into

Go ahead, be my guest, work on everything that closed our door

Everything I worked so hard for

You said you walked the line, but you're the one falling short

Actions speak louder than words.

I can't waste time anymore

When you realize

What you're leaving behind

I wish I was lost

But this was an alternate destination

With no plot

And no path laid out

I swear I'm not lost

I'm not lost

You were offered the world and turned it down

Shed no tear, and hope to break out on your own

I Refuse to call this place home
