Senses Fail Follow

So the lie now is my weapon
Like a bush dried, whithered in the sun
With this spark, I'll go up in flames

I'd lay my gun down
But they're too small to see
It's kinda cute how I pretend to be
Everything but the instrument I am

Peace and happiness
So let it enfold you

A birth to life is what I'm after
My first name won't be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eyes

So it's true, my words are contrived
I tell lies, just to get into your mind
I'm as fake as a winner's smile

This mask of glass is what I choose to wear
So I won't ever have that need to bear
To tell the truth to anyone but me

Peace and happiness
So let it enfold you

A birth to life is what I am after
My first name won't be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eyes

And I, and I
Am dead, am dead
Your eyes, your eyes
Are light

I'm just a bad actor
Stuck with a shitty script
All of my lines are cheap
And the cast is weak

There was no music
For the first time I got kissed
There was no femme fatale
My mistress wasn't rich

So I've been formatted
To fit your TV screen
The film went straight to tape
I'll bow out quietly
So quietly, so quietly

Please do this now, I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
(Please save me, please save me)

Please do this now, I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
(Please save me, please save me)

Now, watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash ashore in weeks
(Can't save me, can't save me)

Now, watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash ashore in weeks
(Can't save me)
You can't save me now
