Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come for a fitting way of life
It's all the rage, enslaved in style
Come for a fitting way of life
Straight jacket fitting a little too tight
[PreChorus]
Hold me close, I'm confused
I don't wanna go out
I told myself, "You can do this"
I'm having my doubts
Ow-ow-ow, uh, ow
[PreChorus]
The old world melts like a candle a-flickering out
Out, uh
[Chorus]
What can you do?
We're all alone in Times New Roman
No allegiance
Chasing your wish over the cliff
If you insist on daydreaming
[Chorus]
Wake up, we need you
No more daydreaming
Don't fall asleep now
[Verse 2]
How is the fitting way of life?
Boa constricting a little too tight
[Verse 3]
Friends close, enemies closer
Lend me your ear
That said, safety's an illusion
That's why it disappear
Well, infiltrators, saboteurs
Affix your blades and steel your nerves
Maraud the facade 'cause the children want answers
Corrode from the inside like a good type of cancer
Oh, piss on the clergy
The new age heathens
The old guard, avant garde, technolojesus
The handmade jury, cage-free, corporate raiders
Patriotic, probiotic, deletist, eracists
The world
Yeah, she don't need saving
'Cept from you and me, and our-
Misbehaving
[Bridge]
To face down your demons, you've got to free them
To seize all your demons, carpe demon
To face down your demons, you've got to free them
To seize all your demons, carpe demon
[Bridge]
The look in your eyes says, "I love you"
And, oh, I love you too
[PreChorus]
Hold me close, I'm confused
I don't wanna go out
I told myself, "You can do this"
I'm having my doubts, outs
[PreChorus]
The old world melts like a candle a-flickering out, out
Still so much to lose and I've already lost
So much
[Chorus]
What can you do?
We're all alone in Times New Roman
No allegiance
Chasing a wish over the cliff
Oh, I insist on daydreaming
What can you say? Enjoy the buffet
In Times New Roman, or it's treason
What you expect?
I'm so goddamn sick of this place
Bring on the healing
[Chorus]
Go on and heal me
Bring on the healing
Good dogs lay down
[Verse 4]
Come for a fitting way of life
It's all the rage, enslaved in style
Come for a fitting way of life
Straight jacket fitting a little too tight
