Deadlights

Sugarcoated Psychosis

Deadlights


Fabricated phenomenon
There's propane in your lungs
We pumped you full of it and sent you off
Into an ego flooded sky
Is it worth what it cost us?

Stop it
These ideas are exhausted
This earworm is toxic
It's making me nauseous
Obnoxious imposters with harmonic
Stockholm syndrome captive
Host and hostage

Surrounded by infectious distractions
Now's the time for action

We've heard it all before
We've been through the motions
Can you turn it off?
With a balloon on a string, I'm floating over the ocean
Make it stop
We've had enough

Fabricated phenomenon
There's propane in your lungs
We pumped you full of it and sent you off
Your time is up, your moment's gone

Do you think we don't notice?
The track has been looping, the record is broken
It's over, the people have spoken
We've reached an impasse
Love drunk on all the bullshit broadcast

Sugarcoated psychosis
Eat it up
We can't get enough, we can't get enough
Sycophants groveling in the mud
Is it worth what it's cost us?

Surrounded by infectious distractions
& repeating patterns
Broadcasting around the world
On rotation in limbo, where we're all lost

We've heard it all before, we've been through the motions
Can you turn it off?

With a balloon on a string, I'm floating over the ocean until it pops
I'm at the end of my tether
And I brought a knife
I'm at the end of my tether
And I brought a knife

Your time is up, your moments gone
Lost in megalomania
I'm afraid that fame's got ya
Full of hot air & puffing out
Just one wrong move, and you'll descend down, right?

Your time is up
Your moments gone
I'll kick you off
Your podium
And don't you forget it

Your time is up
Your moments gone
Your time is up
Your moments gone
