Love, crushing under art I knew it from the start One mistake I made And somewhere in the deep grey skies I threw ambition and said goodbye Without a final hesitation Swimming in a sea of monochrome noise Televised with all my toys I'm bouncing back, but for how long Drowning in the media I made In creation I have praised Not a tear for what I lost Drowning all alone in medias res I'll always love you, it's okay There there, I've got you now

Dreams aren't meant to break After all, they're fake Ambitions aren't weak But my drive is meek I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung Wonderful to see Even more to be If that's how you feel After all, it's real Go to bed upset Funny to regret I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung I hope you've noticed that the sun hasn't sung The moon is brighter than the soul that I've hung

I'm evil, I'm evil I'm evil, I'm evil Hold me accountable to my sins I'm evil, I'm evil I'm evil, I'm evil Hold me accountable to my sins I'm evil, I'm evil I'm evil, I'm evil Hold me accountable to my sins I stand before my parents' grave I see the path that I have paved I tried to fake what my father might think of me and what I've done I'm evil... I'm evil... hold me accountable to my sins Hold me accountable to my sins I'm evil

You're the one to pray, moping every day Happiness is praise, loss is just malaise If you want to scream, don't be mean to me Helping is a team, making sense of dreams Patterns of the damned, feeling like a sham If you can relate, I might be your man Losing grip on faith, cutting from a lathe Devil on the tram, I think that's just great At demons' gate, to ones you relay That's not the same as what I can blame At demons' gate, well ain't it a shame And that's not the same as playing this game Saying that's just fine, isn't such a crime But keeping track of you, and doing it all the time I hope it's just a phase, I don't know what to say Happy is malaise, loss is now your praise Robots was a test, and Gunsmoke was the best and Chemistry was wrong, Another Ocean bombed The Milkshake was a Schism, Dial-Up had criticism And yet you will not listen, that sounds like egotism At demons' gate, to ones you relay That's not the same as what I can blame At demons' gate, well ain't it a shame And that's not the same as playing this game

Hoping that I will see you A coping mechanism or two Forgotten by a broken cell Any remorse has gone to hell A pretty face that wears a mask Transistors made of meat and fat I can't explain what shut it down A smiling friend can't stop a frown Back to normal Inside the brain I've lost all my dreams Inside the brain I've forgotten how to believe What's that village in my head Of neurons getting out of bed I feel like thought is thoughtless here A memory won't shed a tear I won't tell you what you should think I'm thinking that you'll want to drink Please throw away the baby once the bathwater just rots of lust Inside the brain I've lost all my dreams Inside the brain I've forgotten how to believe I'm not normal I'm not normal Hoping that I will see you A coping mechanism or two Forgotten by a broken cell Any remorse has gone to hell A pretty face that wears a mask Transistors made of meat and fat I can't explain what shut it down A smiling friend can't stop a frown I'm not normal
