lyrics

The wild voice I hear
pulls at all my strings
that crooked smile
makes me want to sing

unrequited, so interested
I watch you from afar
uninvited, so invested
this obsession's gone too far

realize that you're not alone
on this cruel, forgotten world
be what you used to be,
be what I want you to be
you know I'm always by your side...

you're a relic of the past
you don't even exist
but I'll do anything you ask
you know I can't resist

divisive, devices, electronic screens
I'm grasping at a pseudorelationship
the words you wrote and sang and screamed
finally made me lose my grip

realize that you're not alone
on this cruel, forgotten world
be what you used to be,
be what I want you to be
you know I'm always by your side...

euphoria washes over me
I look at the world through dilated eyes
and every night you're all I see
nobody can tell me why

will I ever break myself free
from a dead man's wit and charm
manic fixation on the ideal
can only ever do me harm...
