Lyrics

A Fabricated Life

Trust
Trust beyond faith
Giving in
Living in

Thoughts
Beneath the surface
That never serviced
You or I

Words
Words to tie things
Knots for seizing
But nevermind

What else can I ask for?

I've pummeled through my time

Blood
Blood that binds me
Flows inside
Shows in time

Trapped
In skin that fits me
But never fit me
Was never mine

What else can I ask for?

I've pummeled all my time

No need for an acquittal

Or serenaded lies

Long before the fall
Did we have it all along?
Sing the same old songs
Beat the same old tired drums

Long before it all
Or did we have it all along?
Sing the same old songs
Beat the same old tired drums

But what else can I ask for?

I'm nauseous from the ride

Degeneration in the wind

A fabricated life
