foxtrot runner dancing down
i know its hard to stay awake
i know its hard to stay awake
horizon call, missionaries fall
i know its hard to stay awake
i renounced all sins in a better place
but i still play dress-up with my demons
mostly when the room goes black
i wish theyd take their beat-up suitcase
so i know they won't come back
so i know my mom is gone
and i know i should be crying
but this fucking voice on my right-hand side
tells me to just stop trying
red flames fill my vision
feeling just as cold as snow
making my psychotic plagued psyche
more numb than you could ever know
but i still play dress-up with my demons
(foxtrot runner dancing down)
mostly when the room goes black
(i know its hard to stay awake, i know its hard to stay awake)
i wish they'd take their beat-up suitcase
(horizon call, missionaries fall)
so i know they won't come back
(i know its hard to stay awake, i know its hard to stay awake)

i wanna cut ties, tear all my roots out
wear a disguise so they won't have to find out
you ask me where i learned this, i don't quite know
but it's been there for a while eating me whole
i dreamed of someone controlling me
now i see it was covered in heresy
in this blue and pink sea
im just somewhere in between
i cried out
cerulean blue skies eating me up
but why can't the sunset rise?
greyscale hue until i die
but i was wrong about my inner features
my head just kept fucking up
but why can't the sunset rise?
greyscale hue until i die

i don't wanna be awake
there's only so much i can take
i've heard heaven's nice, so i'll give it a try
don't really care to say goodbye
as a grip my fingers closed, my vision fades to black
holy kingdom in my dreams
fallacy to the extreme
faith becomes mere silly stories
trust my god, cult leader in white
my naive eyes couldn't put up a fight
heaven or hell, nothing comes true
but why can't i wake up
i did what you asked, isn't that enough
i gave up my life for this so-called rest
your screams said it was the best for me
theres nothing here, it was all a lie
forget god, i should've defied
and i hope when your kids grow up, they don't believe in
holy kingdom in my dreams
fallacy to the extreme
faith becomes mere silly stories
trust my god, cult leader in white
my naive eyes couldn't put up a fight
heaven or hell, nothing comes true

forgive me father, for i have sinned
put my trust in you and let you in
i knew all my warchants, i worshipped your son
but above all else, my family become one
after going to classes learning about your religion
i slowly felt hollow, determination fleeing
like there was something nailing me down to your
liturgical cross day in and day out
i felt like you won and i lost,
i was under your control
i wasn't aware anymore
your mind manipulation tactics froze me in place
as i ate your body and drank your blood
contracting all of your diseases from generations past
your bleach covered pews giving me suicidal thoughts
as i listen to the voice you tried to tell me
was the devil and my conscience rolling into one

checkerboard patterns ripple through my eyes
i'm rolling back inside to see if anything is turning
im constantly awake in the perpetual motion
im up against the wall while my chest is slowly burning
i will wait until my eyes find something else
these angel wings enchanting tomes upon my shelf
if this pale nausea that's causing my soul to bleed
is just a sickness, it will be the death of me

well i told you i loved you
but you stared back at me
like i wasn't even there
preoccupied by the static
you drift into your biggest fear
she's sitting there, waiting for you to close your eyes
you choose not to defy
and i watched you fade away
your oxygen tanks were filled to the brim with carbon monoxide gas
i knew youd never last
and i watched you fade away
with an angel wearing your daughter's face shrouded by a mask
i knew youd never last because you were happy
i'll stay here
and i'll take the time to learn how to grow
into the boy you always wanted me to be
too bad you'll never see
and i watched you fade away
your oxygen tanks were filled to the brim with carbon monoxide gas
i knew youd never last
and i watched you fade away
with an angel wearing your daughter's face shrouded by a mask
i knew youd never last
because you were happy
floating way up there
you were happy
floating with a girl so fair
you were happy
floating way up high
you were happy
you were happy, oh so happy to...
