Flicker buffer defect glitch
Sometimes I wake up life feels like a video game
Like I'm nothing but a trope with no real story to my name
Just a thoughtless bad decision and a means to an end
Call it what you want but we were never f*cking friends
Life just hands you lemons to be squeezed into your wounds
No sugar for the burning only spitting on your tomb
As life keeps passing by I've learned its lessons overdue
It's a bitter pill to swallow life's a bitch and so are you
Yeah!
Maybe when I wake up, I am still asleep
Life is so oneiric when your dreams are all you keep
Let's go play a game build ourselves a nice disguise
We'll make a character and bury you inside of lies
An NPC a façade of humanity
When you look into the mirror what is it that you can see
Do you know the bittersweetness the taste of defeat
Existence is a riddle wrapped in layers of deceit
Maybe dreams are the reality and when I wake I'm dreaming
And the ringing from the silence is much louder than my screaming
And I'm the only one who can ever make me cry
I command my tears my own hand my own disguise
Why do I fall in love with all the things that bring me pain
I like to flirt with misery with nothing left to gain
Nothing is worth keeping and nothing's as it seems
Dysphoric rumination and a raw visceral scream
Ahhhhh!
Use me break me manipulate me
Hold me blame me won't you save me
Play your game set the score leave me be
I'll rewrite the rules bring you down on your knees
Just a puppet in a scheme, a nightmare not a dream
Life's a bitch and so it goes, a chapter I will gladly close
Maybe dreams are the reality and when I wake I'm dreaming
And the ringing from the silence is much louder than my screaming
And I'm the only one who can ever make me cry
I command my tears my own hand my own disguise
Why do I fall in love with all the things that bring me pain
I like to flirt with misery with nothing left to gain
Nothing is worth keeping and nothing's as it seems
Dysphoric rumination and a raw visceral scream
I'm not here for your character development
I play your games for my own entertainment
I'll write this act for a day where there is hope
That I write my own story and I am not a trope
Is it all a dream?
Let's go spiral down yeah in my thoughts I drown
Then I hit the ground my mind in full meltdown
Dancing in a field between delusion and confusion
A fantasy infusion just beyond the world's intrusion
They say to just be happy like it's just a simple switch
But life is not a game there is no cheat there is no glitch
Spinning in a vortex where a lie and dreams collide
Shifting to a nightmare in the gutter of my mind
Is it all a dream?
