Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're running on empty
And I don't think there's much here we can save
Illusion that we're all free
But we just can't admit that we're all slaves
Slaves to a screen that tells us everything that we should think
We should know by now it's all a modern game
[PreChorus]
And I'm so tired
Of living every day behind this face
A lie
Don't you wanna fucking tear it off?
[Verse 2]
Paint me into the screen
So you can see me now
Fucking living in a perfect world
Every second running to the hurt
We can't seem to escape the daydream
Have we lost ourselves?
Tell me how we learned to love this hell
Fucking dying in this perfect world
[Verse 3]
Too much time pretending
We're people playing in a masquerade
Has left us all with nothing
Holding strings that just can't take the weight
Chasing lies we want to hear to validate our name
It keeps us trapped inside this modern game
[PreChorus]
And I'm so tired
Of living every day behind this face
A lie
Don't you wanna fucking tear it off?
[Chorus]
Paint me into the screen
So you can see me now
Fucking living in a perfect world
Every second running to the hurt
We can't seem to escape the daydream
Have we lost ourselves?
Tell me how we learned to love this hell
Fucking dying in this perfect world
[Bridge]
Couldn't find no peace, so the piece on me gives serenity
I needed a release, elbow grease, was a piece of ecstasy
When nobody believed in a dream, it make sleep the enemy
I'd show 'em that I'll bleed for release and a seat with destiny
I'm never nervous, it always get on their nerves
I light up every bridge I cross and I love watching 'em burn
Karma's my soulmate, we love to give out what people earn
I got the whole world in my hand because it's what I deserve
You're gonna learn, if you fucking with the king, then you're gonna get
Hurt
Yeah, tell me how you learned to love this hell
Fucking dying in this perfect world
[Chorus]
Paint me into the screen
So you can see me now
Fucking living in a perfect world
Every second running to the hurt
We can't seem to escape the daydream
Have we lost ourselves?
Tell me how we learned to love this hell
Fucking dying in this perfect world
[Outro]
Yeah, tell me how you learned to love this hell
Fucking dying in this perfect world
