A penny and a cure
Is all I’ll ever need
To make you follow
No need to reassure
I'll use your need to breathe
To make you swallow
And they’ll tell you to dream
And they’ll tell you the even trade is your soul
But you’re only as free as the price you pay
Believe this
They are all insane
And they won’t stand in our way
I’ve seen it all before
The evolutionary need
To fill what’s hollow
I’ll penetrate the core
And raise you from the deep
Into the shallower light so you can see that
You’re only as free as the price you pay
(Believe this lonely box is not insane)
Believe this
They are all insane
And they won’t stand in our way
But if you betray
(Believe me when I say you’re all insane)
Believe this
You are all insane
So come on and step into my
Gaslight
Gaslight
Gaslight
Come on step into my gaslight
Come on you’re only as free as the price you pay
(Believe this lonely box is not a cage)
Believe this
This is not a cage
As you fashion your own chains
And if you betray
(Believe me when I say you’re all insane)
Believe this
You are all insane
And you won’t stand in my way
That’s the price you pay
Believe this
(Believe me when I say you’re all insane,)
You are all insane
And you won’t stand in my way

It sucked you in
But then again you put your faith in a dead star
When you denied the blinding spin
And even if you never meant to go this far
You try to justify this symphony of infancy
You swallow it, following every rabbit hole that beckons you in
But all I've seen are tragic scenes
Collapsing in constant rotten philosophies that shift in the wind
Oh, you'll open up your eyes in the end
To see the endless unknown
Explode into a new horizon
We'll erase your name in the afterglow
So it begins
A chain reaction with an imminent outcome
It’s radiating from within
And even if you could escape from a black sun
You'd never rectify this industry of infamy
Giving all the static addicts a pulpit until the ignorance wins
If it's up to me, cover all I see
In twisted elliptical epiphany and we'll start it again
Oh, you'll open up your eyes in the end
To see the endless unknown
Explode into a new horizon
We'll erase your name in the afterglow
Yeah now you've really done it
Yeah now you've really done it
Yeah now you've really done it
Yeah now you've really done it
Yeah now you've really done it
Oh, you'll open up your eyes in the end
To see the endless unknown
Explode into a new horizon
We'll erase your name in the afterglow
Yeah now you've really done it
Yeah now you've really done it
Yeah now you've really done it
Yeah now you've really done it

Let me explain
Some things are worthy of your suspicion
Parts rearrange
But still the song is the same
If only you could hear me
Through the grinding of gears and systems
Narrowing your scope
With every shot to the vein
All the voices call
But they awaken no one
The machine’s so loud I can make no sound
And even if I scream at the wind
No waves in motion
The machine’s so loud I can make no sound
Start the refrain
And don’t be burdened by your conviction
That’s what they say
When there’s no skin in the game
They’ll drench your spleen in gasoline
And set your dream into ignition
Internal combustion
Man it sure entertains
All the voices call
But they awaken no one
The machine’s so loud I can make no sound
Can’t even hear myself but still I sing
And even if I scream at the wind
No waves in motion
The machine’s so loud I can make no sound
Can’t even hear myself but still I sing
You swore you'd never die
So look alive
You’re up
And they’re all eyes
Shatter the frame
And all the boundaries of their creation
Don’t be afraid
Of all the crashes and bangs
Forget they ever made you think
There’s no such thing as new sensation
One little concussion
Man that’s all that it takes
All the voices call
But they awaken no one
The machine’s so loud I can make no sound
Can’t even hear myself but still I sing
And even if I scream at the wind
No waves in motion
The machine’s so loud I can make no sound
Can’t even hear myself but still I sing
The machine’s so loud I can make no sound
Can’t even hear myself but still I sing
The machine’s so loud I can make no sound
Can’t even hear myself but still I sing

Never know how much you’re lying
To keep yourself king of the crowd
Wish you were still scared of dying
A martyr makes the masses proud
I’m standing in shoes too small
This skin’s not mine at all
Realize how much you’re trying
To keep the friends who keep you down
Lose yourself to keep denying
You’d break your neck to wear the crown
I’m standing in shoes too small
This skin’s not mine at all
I’m standing in shoes too small
This skin’s not mine
Don’t care where you’re going
What you’re doing
Cuz you know I got a
New sudden point of view
A different kind of true
Remember to open up this way
Or get washed away
New sudden point of view
A different kind of true
Remember to open up this way
Or get washed away
Or get washed away
Or get washed away

I gotta leave the scene
‘Cause I get the feeling my cover’s blown
If I let you see the scheme
Then you’ll pull the strings
And it’ll be over before I’ve begun
If I could have planned it
I would already be but another ghost
A moment of panic
Now the sirens sing
They only get louder the faster I run
I broke free to escape
And got lost on the way out
That was always my ball and chain
Don't be fooled by the stunt,
Because it's only a fake out,
It’s much better to hide the pain
I broke free to escape
And got lost on the way out
That was always my ball and chain
Don't be fooled by the stunt,
Because it's only a fake out,
It’s much better to hide the
I’m such a fanatic
For the sickening way that you drag me home
I’ll suffer the static rather than navigate
The crippling labyrinth of all that I’ve done
Don't think it's a habit when I just can't enough
And it pushes and pulls at my bones
I'm stuck in the attic
With all my hopes and fears
And I think it’s a fight to the death
No outcome
I broke free to escape
But got lost on the way out
That was always my ball and chain
Don't be fooled by the stunt
Because it's only a fake out
It's much better to hide the pain
I broke free to escape
But got lost on the way out
That was always my ball and chain
Don't be fooled by the stunt
Because it's only a fake out
It's much better to hide the
Breakdown
Know your vision
Breakdown
No conviction
I broke free to escape
But got lost on the way out
That was always my ball and chain
Don't be fooled by the stunt
Because it's only a fake out
It's much better to hide the pain
I broke free to escape
But got lost on the way out
That was always my ball and chain
Don't be fooled by the stunt
Because it's only a fake out
It's much better to hide the breakdown

Don’t leave a moment to waste
You’ve got some shit to prove
Can’t put the hood on display
So make the struggle of another all about you
Save my time
Talking to yourself
The perfect audience
You got a holy disposition
With a sinner’s spine
Go figure
Take away the screen
And you are nobody
Like me
That open book on your face
It’s gonna swallow you
All the bitter pills that you take
Always taste the fucking same so
Save my time
Talking to yourself
The perfect audience
You got a holy disposition
With a skinless spine
Go figure
Take away your screen
And you are nobody
Like me
I wanna shake you awake but you’re sleeping
Fell in line for the easiest trick in the book
What's with the fake revolution you’re preaching
All this talk, you handed the keys right to the crook
I wanna shake you awake cuz you’re sleeping
Cauterizing your eyes with the pill that you took
Learn to swim, you’re off of the deep end,
And the water's as red as the hand that you shook
Save my time
Talking to yourself
The perfect audience
You got a holy disposition
But you’re dead inside
Go figure
Take away the screen
And you are nobody
Like me

Into the tide alone
To the violent swell if it should rise
And if we should die alone
Would the sign of it ever reach the shore
Is this getting through
Water rising
The vessel was barely bones
When it finally capsized
This horizon
Was never the way back home
But it called you out for war
And if it was I alone
In the eye of it
How could I survive
But I’m contemplating
While your hands are shaking
And I’m radiating
While your star is fading
And my heart is breaking
‘Cause your body’s aching
But I’m hesitating
And you’re still here waiting
‘Till you shot it
We come up for air
Hoping to see the light
We come up for air
Only to say goodbye
We come up for air
Hoping to see the light
We come up for air
Only to say goodbye
And when I left you
You were sailing for your storm
And I had the notion
But the words I still ignored
And I could never rescue
Or even see through my own dread
But I saw the ocean
As it dragged you to the floor
Blues and violets
Deep and silent
Breathing in, begin to
Brave the spiral
Waving tidal
See the world fade into
Ancient island
Angel siren
Only one you sing to
Meet her eyes and
Say goodbye then
See the light begin to fade away
Until it shines again one day
Sun is born
And will fade away they say
Sun is born
And every day it drowns into the waves
So sail away and find the new horizon
Sail away and find the place you never could
‘Till you were standing at the edge
We come up for air
Hoping to see the light
We come up for air
Only to say goodbye
We come up for air
Hoping to see the light
We come up for air
Only to say goodbye
We come up for air
Hoping to see the light
We come up for air
Only to say goodbye
