elective amnesia

We dont sleep very much
These triggers ache for the touch
Wheres the strength we relied on?
Here alone, like a crutch
Maybe thats what keeps us up
All the night with a light on
Howling screams simulate
Things that no longer take place
Can this be what weve become?
Paper-thin, overweight
Pills to arouse us in tape
Still we dont know what we want
We can let go
Cant you see?
To lose control
Is to be
Finally free
First a spark
Then a flame
Now a fire
We explode
Into the darkest of nights
Disconnect
Cut the cord
Lights are dead
Now theyll know
With everything comes a price
And each day we are torn
Between the right and the wrong
Between life and convenience
While you sleep, why complain
Theres always channels to change
Its like elective amnesia
As we grow older
In this place
Lets just start over
Lets erase
What theyve made
First a spark
Then a flame
Now a fire
We explode
Into the darkest of nights
Disconnect
Cut the cord
Lights are dead
Now theyll know
With everything comes a price!
It could be minutes away
It could be hours or days
Before the bottom falls out
Before the ground gives way
Into this debt we are born
a debt we try to repay
And yet we blacken the sky
Smoke rising out of the flames
Now theyll know...
(First a spark)
(Then a flame)
(Now a fire)
We explode
Into the darkest of nights
(Disconnect)
(Cutthe cord)
(Lights are dead)
Now theyll know
With everything comes a price
(First a spark)
(Then a flame)
(Now a fire)
We explode...
We explode...
With everything comes a price...
(First a spark)
(Then a flame)
(Now a fire)
We explode
We explode...
