This is my chance to distance myself from fiction Our synthetic life was censored, contrived No point of reference This used to mean something I used to feel something Keep your pity I don't need it Wish I could blame this all on you Sometimes I look around And can't accept this is it now It might've never been real But at least I got to pretend for a while [Chorus] My life has become stranger than fiction The darkness comes and goes But it'll never take me Misread the signs The road to our fall is paved in lies I watched my heaven turn to ash As those I trusted looked away Now you're a ghost to me A delusional lie A fantasy [Chorus] The infection Has poisoned our focus For too long In search of anything That we can know is real There's no where to run this time I need to know you see this Tell me there's beauty but I can't feel it now Some day today Will fade in to the darkest corners of my memory If I could go back I'd grit my teeth And still go through with this I need to know you see this Tell me there's beauty but I can't feel it I can't accept that this is it now The darkness comes and goes But it'll never take me Burning the bridges to nowhere
