lyrics

Your face is on my mind
Your voice is in my head
Your barbed and rehearsed lines
Wishing that I was dead
I close my eyes and see
A chorus of phosphenes
A smile with too many teeth
Ready to snap at me

Your troop of giggling fools
Contort reality
They keep changing the rules
No sense of honesty
I turn my back and smile
So many things to say
But they'd be wasted, so I'll
Speak out another day

Just believe the lie
Avoid looking me in the eye
Don't have the urge to fight
I'm not that kind of guy
And if you need me too
I'll pretend I'm not over you
Let people think it's true
But if they only knew
They'd turn the other way...

We've both seen better nights
We've both seen better days

There's lightning in my brain
I've got electric skin
Expectations remain
Mediocre and slim
It's relentless and cold
There's nothing in your eyes
A black encrusted soul
A vapid, shallow mind

Your agenda is clear
It's etched on your face
Motivated by fear
You need to win this race
I try and pull away
I try to move along
I take it day by day
I'm working to stay strong

Your heart is barely a muscle
It's atrophied and it's chasmal
You don't even amount to
Nothing
Nothing
'Cause you're nothing...
Nothing
'Cause your nothing
