Lyrics

Automatic

Watch the world burn
Kiss it away
Notice your heart breaking like waves
Paint your eyes bright
Pretending to sleep
Distracted while your background changes permanently

In my head, wondering, "What are we losing?"
In my head, wondering, "Is it too late?"
Caught in my throat is my shot at redemption
I start to lose it

Everyone wondering, "What is the future?"
Everyone telling themself it's okay
If it's all broken, then is it worth fixing?
I'm sick of losing

Non-stop, automatic
Living in delusion
Look away out of habit
Pull yourself together
Everybody's talking 'bout it
Still, you keep your head down
Lose yourself in the static
Blame it on each other

People speak out
People are freaks
Power goes out, sweat 'til it bleeds
Never trust you
Never trust me
Asking how'd it happen
Find it hard to believe

In my head, wondering, "What are we losing?"
In my head, wondering, "Is it too late?"
Caught in my throat is my shot at redemption
I start to lose it

Non-stop, automatic
Living in delusion
Look away out of habit
Pull yourself together
Everybody's talking 'bout it
Still, you keep your head down
Lose yourself in the static
Blame it on each other

(Sick of losing)
(Sick of losing)
(Sick of losing)
(Sick of losing)
(Sick of losing)
(Sick of losing)
(Sick of losing)
Sick of losing!

Non-stop, automatic
Living in delusion
Look away out of habit
Pull yourself together
Everybody's talking 'bout it
Still, you keep your head down
Lose yourself in the static
Blame it on each other
