lyrics

When the Lights Turn On

I wake another day just to live inside my head
To find your sleeping frame in your used up, sinful bed
Should have never believed my words that were only fueled by lust
Should have never believed that I was someone you could trust

Rest in Peace your purity
Our hormones have authority
A fault with our society
Is to say such goodbyes

Will we see our weakness?
How we waste time?
Will we view our escapes as selfish crimes?
Have we lost all power to tame ourselves?
When we wake on the floor, we'll see our pride is all gone

You'll make sure that you'll shove your sorrows down your throat
I'll make sure next time I'll keep my mind afloat
Please don't misperceive that I was worth it all
And I won't try to deny that I'm causing my own fall

You're an outlet for hysteria
And my sporadic mania
The last thing on my mind is love
I hope this won't hurt

Will we see our weakness?
How we waste time?
Will we view our escapes as selfish crimes?
Have we lost all power to tame ourselves?
When we wake on the floor, we'll see our pride is all gone.

Will we see our weakness?
How we waste time?
Will we view our escapes as selfish crimes?
Have we lost all power to tame ourselves?
When we wake on the floor, we'll see our pride is all gone
