you are fine, you say

can't they tell you're lying?

wake up, wake up, you scream inside your mind

up, go up, get inside, you'll be safe from me

this is real life, there is no time to be scared, just go, go!

is everyone okay? please tell me i didn't hurt you

not everyone survived

a voice in your head goes, this is your fault

dream on, child. it's not like your dream's ever gonna be real

you're going to hurt them, and you hate it

part of you is scared, part of you is angry. part of you is just... you

of all the people to hurt, you can't believe you hurt her

a voice in your head goes, this is your fault

machine gun fire rattles the windows. it's not your fault this time, no

you are the victim, or so you think

are you actually the villain?

not real, not real, your mind whispers

a voice in your head goes, this is your fault

human. are you human? or alien?

being truthful, you answer, i don't know

with everyone you've hurt, how can you be?

your face is a perfect mask, yes, but the mind behind is churning

face your fears, you think. no, yes, no, yes.

all you think about is did i hurt them?

made, you were made, not born

up, up, up. you'll be safe from me there.

living is hard, darling. dying is easy

on fire, you feel like you're on fire, and you're burning the world down

a voice in your head goes, this is your fault. this time, you believe it

screen on, screen on, you repeat in a shaking voice

low, steady voices come out of your device

on the third of may, five people perished

self. are you selfish, or selfless?

esteem your ancestors, you were told. why?

so now night has fallen and people bay for your blood

you are on the run

run, run, away from your troubles

on the highway to hell, darling, but there's no way off

gasoline, gasoline, burning me up inside.
