It's not the lack of light
It's an addiction to the sight
Of the rotting of the cage
And the skull around my mind
It's not that I'm in pain
But that I don't feel anything
And I'm tired of pretending
That I care about the game
I'm about the project
And forgetting that I lost it
Like the syringe in my pocket
And the dignity you stole
I tell you I've lost it
And this time I've really done it
'Cause tonight I think I saw you
In the dark out of control
Caught in a cop-out
A nightmare in your mouth
You could've hurt yourself
Promised you there
I'd surrender my specters
I should've caught myself
Up taping words across the gaps in the wall
The space you perfected the art of withdrawal
Fist through the plaster, the bottle runs empty
Done talking nonsense to spiders in hiding
'Cause I'm about the project and forgetting that I lost it
Like the acid in my closet and the bicycle you stole
Telling you they're in there in the darkness that I entered
And tonight I think I saw them
God I'm losing all control
Caught in a cop-out
A nightmare in your mouth
You could've hurt yourself
Promised you there
I'd surrender my specters
I should've caught myself
Dissection is crucial I think they're immortal
Dissection is crucial I know they're immortal
I'm about the project and forgetting that you lost it
Like the syringe in my pocket and the dignity you stole
I tell you I've lost it and this time I've really done it
'Cause tonight I think I saw you in the dark out of control
Caught in a cop-out
A nightmare in your mouth
You could've hurt yourself
Promised you there
I'd surrender my specters
I should've caught myself
