Red Pill - All Along the Shore lyrics

[Verse 1] I vaguely remember when the winter broke Like waking up from a coma to shades of indigo The ultraviolet in the light became unbearable The ultraviolence of my life became my parable The self-destruction burned a fire through my flesh The craving like an infantile desire for the breast Elixir set upon the wires in my head That told me only those that get admired are the dead And my obsession was fanatical I couldn't entertain suggestions of sabbatical To play the part I had to make the measures radical No virtuosity to calm the inner animal And social scientists will say that I'm irrational Self-preservation is to be a bit theatrical Because everyone is terminal And the universe will never take you personal [Hook] And at the very least he found some peace While the world was busy counting sheep The night became dawn And he never awoke but his demons were gone [Verse 2] I vaguely remember when the summer came Like waking up from a coma to have another name To feel reborn and find your happiness restored And realizing now that you will never find reward The only proof of your existence in this life Is to pa** along a star and view the absence of its light You're nothing more than a shadow to be observed An astronomer who witnesses the dip upon the Earth I'm a measurement on instruments An insignificant coincidence But somehow that is magnificent And darling that's the core of our predicament You find yourself an unwilling participant I see no reason we should rectify our differences Existing wasn't meant as false imprisonment Enjoy the cognitive dissonance [Hook] And at the very least he found some peace While the world was busy counting sheep The night became dawn And he never awoke but his demons were gone [Outro] Now I'm gone till November Gone till November The devil tried to k** me now I'm gone for forever All along the shore they screamed out "No surrender! If we're gonna die then we all die together." Gone till November Gone till November The devil tried to k** me now I'm gone for forever All along the shore they screamed out "No surrender! If we're gonna die then we all die together." I saw you standing there Saltwater in your hair Sungla**es hide your eyes We all know what's inside You don't know my name You don't know my name You don't know my name But I know your blood All along All along the shore All along All along the shore All along the All along the shore All along All along the shore They watched it They watched it They watched it They watched it They watched it They watched it They watched it They watched it
