lyrics

A silver plate and cutlery,
it's dirty and filled with disease.
A never ending nightmare scene,
can someone tell me what it means?
I don't say much in a day,
no one's listening anyway.
If I die here it will be okay 'cause I think that I die here everyday.

You don't see with your eyes,
open and close,
or stare at the sun.
See the thing 'bout your eyes is,
they're forged from devices.
Merely artificial,
you're make believe.

You're on your way out,
you're on your way out.

I built your home in the sea if only to see like me but you don't see a thing.
I built my home in the sky if only to breathe one last time or hold it all in.

You're on your way out,
you're on your way out.

The thoughts in this head,
the message,
spoken,
but was it worth it in the end?
The last frequency to prove that the king was dead but his kingdom still remained.

It seems like we must be on our way out.

The thoughts in this head,
the message,
spoken,
but wass it worth it in the end?
The last frequency to prove that the king was dead but his kingdom still remained.

You don't see with your eyes,
open and close,
or stare at the sun.
See the thing 'bout your eyes is,
they're forged from devices.
