lyrics

am I paranoid? is this commonplace?
am I far too young to always feel this way?
someone dropped the ball deep in outer-space
extending arms while we drift away, but...

there was a time when I had some peace of mind
these dreams are dark I’m nightly inflicted by
smiles and arms so wide they’re welcoming inside

embrace this little ruse
the one unspoken truth we share is:
all good heroes die before the end

if I’m lost in thought, please forgive my daze
it’s a sprawling plot, and the world’s at stake
every morning now, when I wash my face
I see the skin as it melts away, well...

after a while you forget the veil is on
there’s just this thin layer of darkness covering
everyone around in clouds of static lines
