lyrics

Roll out the red carpet for the star playing himself
This is, this is about to get interesting
So this is all that they have come to expect of me?
It's become obvious that they are no longer respecting me
A bunch of pseudo doctors surround and start inspecting
The rush of social status continues infecting me
This mantra savors defeat and offers ample in return
Organized strikes on the willing, who just sit and wait their turn
I've been letting this ghost haunt me freely
Flicking an on/off switch with my sanity
Torn apart as I'm stretched to my limits
My mind's given up, my mind's lost it's faith in me
I'm losing feeling in the feelings my feelings feel
This is yours, this is yours to claim
This is your snake pit of a fucking daydream
Look into the eyes of the recluse
The allure gets stronger no matter how hard you refuse
Kiss the fangs just to see if they'll strike
Entangled further in the web the harder you fight
So is this all they've come to expect of me?
Mystery be damned they'll prop me up and dissect me
Prodded like cattle amidst the herd
I can feel them directing me
So this is all that they have come to expect of me
Mystery be damned they'll prop me up and dissect me
Prodded like cattle I can feel them direct me
Alone in my conscience where only I can neglect thee
This mantra savors defeat and offers ample in return
Organized strikes on the willing, who just sit and wait their turn
I've been letting this ghost haunt me freely
Flicking an on/off switch with my sanity
I've been letting this ghost haunt me freely
Flicking an on/off switch with my sanity
Torn apart as I'm stretched to my limits
My mind's given up, my mind's lost it's faith in me
I'm losing feeling in the feelings my feelings feel
