The Artificial

Hand me your lies
Hand me my keys

You have to give it all up
When you realize what youre leaving behind
I wish I was lost
But this was an alternate destination

Watch life flash before your eyes
And hope for the best
Even in this well lit room where you lay down to rest
You cast a shadow that stabs you in the back

This all began so well
And was the longest spiral downward I've ever felt
You wouldve been the death of me
If I stuck around much longer

Months of sickness felt like
I was sleeping six feet underground
You cant tell the difference between whats real and not
Find the truth or you will lose yourself forever

I know its not, not all your fault
I knew early on what I was getting myself into
Go ahead, be my guest
Work on everything that closed up our door I worked so hard for

You said you walked the line
But youre the one falling short
Actions speak louder than words

When you realize what youre leaving behind
I wish I was lost
But this was an alternate destination

With no plot and no path laid out
I swear Im not lost, Im not lost

You were offered the world and turned it down
Shed no tear and hope to break out on your own
I refuse to call this place home
