lyrics

This is one to help you sleep,
turn your life into a dream.
But take too much, and you will fade right off the screen.

This one will help you through the day,
help you think all of those bad thoughts away.
Over time, all of those blues will fade to gray.

Wash away the stars,
fill the void with emptiness.
Why don't we turn our loved ones into statues?
Why don't we turn our problems into chisels?
What's the difference?
There's a hurt they never see.

Take this one to stay relaxed.
Come Friday night, you'll meet with friends and share some laughs.
Laughing all the way as you watch your world collapse.

Burn away the sun,
and spread the ashes everywhere.
Why don't we dance into the void?
Why don't we kiss the infant apocalypse?
What's the difference?
There's a heart they never see.

And so you measure all the pain,
you melt it down and build a statue to remind yourself
not to go down that road again.

You have to lose yourself so you can find yourself.

So let's continue this facade,
pretend the problems don't exist.
Until the silence lures us into loveless bliss.
