lyrics

I wanna sink my teeth
In the mold of routine
Let it bend and fold until it fits me
I try to catch that ghost
Feel its coldness in my arms
On a bed of good intentions
Beneath a tapestry of scars

Are you haunted by the memory
Of everyone I used to be

I'm picking at my skin and
I can't concentrate
I thought I'd found myself
But I don't recognize my face
Chemical lobotomies
And do-it-yourself dopamine
These pills I take won't take me

What's this rush
Is this love or something more
Super powered detox pores
Sweat that shit out, poison stored
No pain, no gain, no more
Can't shake this fate
Gotta break the gait in your wake
Mourning like an earthquake

Are you haunted by the memory
Of everyone I used to be

I'm picking at my skin and
I can't concentrate
I thought I'd found myself
But I don't recognize my face
Chemical lobotomies
And do-it-yourself dopamine
These pills I take won't take me

Let's get it on!

I'm picking at my skin and
I can't concentrate
I thought I'd found myself
But I don't recognize my face
Chemical lobotomies
And do-it-yourself dopamine
These pills I take won't take me

We can break this mutual disease
We can lift this curse
