about

this song is about running away.

lyrics

I am beautifully lost in my fantasy
Watching the whole world burn below me
Some worlds are built on sinking earth
Splitting apart as I see its rebirth

I can hear a voice in my head
I can feel a void in my head
I can’t take this noise in my head
I want to know that I’m

Escaping the whole world around me
Waiting for the dark to consume me
Hoping that this illusion will set me free
I can’t wait to

My life works in oscillations, thoughts coming like waves
Shaping the wires and data within me
I am made of shadows and chemicals, someone I can’t save
You can find me drowning in the background noise
I’ll be the one wearing sleeves of red

I need the voice in my head
I want the void in my head
I crave the noise in my head
I want to feel like I’m

Escaping the whole world around me
Waiting for the dark to consume me
Hoping that this illusion will set me free
I can’t wait to

I just wanted to let you know
That I don’t know where to go

So I’ll just
Stay right here
Within my fantasy

I can’t wait to

Escaping the whole world around me
Waiting for the dark to consume me
Hoping that this illusion will set me free
I can’t wait to drown in my sea
Of thoughts and voices that can’t be
I know that nothing can help me
When will I be able to see
That I can’t wait to stop being me

(I’m lost in the background noise)
I want to watch myself burn
(I’m lost in the background noise)
I want to fall in the void
(I’m lost in the background noise)
I need to die on my own
