[Verse 1: M!ND5]
My thoughts have been toppling over
Caught in incompetent culture
Logic is tossed to the vultures
Won't see the cost til we're older
So how far can we go
Down this darkening road
Until carnage unfolds
They want my heart to corrode
I'll harness my glow
Getting my spark to explode
(It's alarming I know, but its's part of the show)
I'm positively pissed
It's preposterous, but hard to resist
My conciseness shifts
Why live if I'm not gonna risk
As if I'm lost in abyss
See, my dreams are wild
So it'll be a while
Before I toss in my chips
[Hook: M!ND5]
I need no stages of grief
Keeping pain underneath
Nothing stays the same
Take away you're beliefs
Is being sane what you seek
Changing ways to achieve
Or play the blame game
Like you're made to believe
[Verse 2: M!ND5]
It's like the Capitol lies
On capitalizing capitol lies
Nothing escaping the Capitol's eyes
Hear all, see all, speak all evil
Recall scenes, stall evolved people
Free fall, into a bottomless pit
You say because I'm odd that I should probably quit
Well you can just keep talking your sh**
I'll take all that you say and make a novel of it
(You've got marvelous tricks but you hardly exist)
[Hook: M!ND5]
I need no stages of grief
Keeping pain underneath
Nothing stays the same
Take away you're beliefs
Is being sane what you seek
Changing ways to achieve
Or play the blame game
Like you're made to believe
[Verse 3: M!ND5]
Whether it's an angel or demon, save me
From the tree that I'm hanging
My feet have been dangling
I speak a dream, when underneath I'm erasing my love
My brain strays, veins racing with blood
I feel I'm falling, though I'm aiming above
They're gaining such a grudge
Hate what I've become
I should be blazing like the sun
They say that I may be just a dud
But I'm a unique character on a challenging plot
And I use these barriers to balance my thoughts
This new me's scarier demanding a spot
See the new leader carry your land to the top
But damn I forgot that I'm trapped in a box
So wanting to be happy is just asking a lot
[Hook: M!ND5]
I need no stages of grief
Keeping pain underneath
Nothing stays the same
Take away you're beliefs
Is being sane what you seek
Changing ways to achieve
Or play the blame game
Like you're made to believe
