Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come for a fitting way of life It's all the rage, enslaved, in style Come for a fitting way of life Straight jacket fitting a little too tight [Pre-Chorus] Hold me close, I'm confused, I don't wanna go out I told myself, "You can do this", I'm havin' my doubts, oh The old world melts like a candle a-flickerin' out, ah, oh [Chorus] What can you do? We're all alone in Times New Roman, no allegiance Chasin' your wish over the cliff if you insist on daydreamin' Wake up, we need you, no more daydreamin' Don't fall asleep now [Verse 2] How is the fitting way of life? Boa constricting a little too tight [Interlude] Friends close, enemies closеr, lend me your ear I say safеty's an illusion, that's why it disappear Oh, infiltrators, saboteurs, affix your blades and steel your nerves Maraud the façade 'cause the children want answers Corrode from the inside like a good type of cancer Oh, piss on the clergy, the new age heathens The old guard, avant-garde, technolojesus The hand-made jury, cage-free corporate raiders Patriotic, probiotic, deletist, eracist The world, yeah, she don't need savin' 'Cept from you and me and our misbehavin' [Bridge] To face down your demons, you've got to free them To seize all your demons, Carpe demon To face down your demons, you've got to free them To seize all your demons, Carpe demon The look in your eyes (To face down your demons, you've got to free them) Says, "I love you" (To seize all your demons, Carpe demon) And, oh, I love you too (To face down your demons, you've got to free them) (To seize all your demons, Carpe demon) [Pre-Chorus] Hold me close, I'm confused, I don't wanna go out I told myself, "You can do this", I'm havin' my doubts, oh The old world melts like a candle a-flickerin' out Still so much to lose and I've already lost so much Yeah [Chorus] What can you do? We're all alone in Times New Roman, no allegiance Chasin' your wish over the cliff, oh, I insist on daydreamin' But what can you say? Enjoy the buffet in Times New Roman or it's treason What you expect? I'm so goddamn sick of this place, bring on the healing Go on and heal me, bring on the healin' Good dogs lay down [Verse 1] Come for a fitting way of life It's all the rage, enslaved in style Come for a fitting way of life Straight jacket fitting a little too tight [Instrumental Outro]
