Watching from the bottom of a strangers mind
Vicarious life, chemical divide
The epidemic of our time
A voluntary genocide

He's wielding a needle
it's laced with ambition
Set on finding forever
or blacking out the friction

She's clutching a bottle
conscripted prescription
Deaf to my dissent
void of all volition

Injecting fire straight into the veins
Nothing will cauterize the wound where I remain
Ingesting tiny stars one by one
One by one, I come undone

Passenger to my own life
Trapped inside, fastened to the vice
Fading out, fading away
Burning in a bliss
you can't sustain

Am I a hedonist or solipsist?
Barbiturate tourniquets drip, drip
A sycophant's sea of delusion
Drowning in an empty conclusion

Come shoot me up into the night

Blood moon: the shadow in my skin
The window of my soul was sealed
but I'll still let you in
Blood moon: shiver through my mind
Only the need is real
feel whatever I can
to make sure I can't feel

All the hell in my veins
can't dissipate the pain
All the hell in my veins
won't wash away your face

So let us go then, you and I
Watch the sky drift into sleep, etherized
Collapsing stars
condemned to their cosmic graves
Bleeding light for the gain
of some far off race
The fog hangs like thieves
there must be guilt in these streets
Place your hand on my wrist
it's not like we'll be missed
Do I dare shake the need from our skin?
Do I dare rattle the rust
corroding me from within?
The lechery, the treachery
oh come, Love, sit next to me
This anatomy is built like tragedy
Don't you know me by these scars?
These marks where I are-?
I mean I am
I mean I was
I was supposed to be someone

Blood moon: the shadow in my skin
The window of my soul was sealed
but I'll still let you in
Blood moon: shiver through my mind
Only the need is real
feel whatever I can
to make sure I can't feel

Every fix is a prayer
Every high a sacrifice
We worship desire
at the altar of dependence

I hit the bottom, then it hit me back

Incarnation of society
"The face of evil is the face of need"
