The Paradigm Shift

Prey for me, I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I’m just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

This virus follows you
Nothings left, your dead on the ground
How can I covet you?
Give you hell and you can’t rebound
My soul infected you
Blackened thoughts they run through your head
The little things you do,
simply I wish you were dead
Were dead! Were dead! Were dead!

Prey for me, I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I’m just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me.

[Prey for me] I think I owe you an apology,
[Prey for me] Somehow you bring the violence out in me
[Prey for me] I’m just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me
Goodbye, so long
Wish I could stay but everything is all wrong
Goodbye, so long
Wish I could stay but everything is all wrong
Everything is all wrong, everything wrong, wrong, everything wrong!

Prey for me, I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I’m just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

[Prey for me] I think I owe you an apology
[Prey for me] Somehow you bring the violence out in me
[Prey for me] I’m just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

Devils I make and the love can relate
All the solace inside tears me up

Take me away!
Set me on fire!
There’s no other way!

Give me a reason ’cause I’ve got nothing to gain
So what are we doing now
Feeling complacent I cannot be contained
I’m so lost and lonely now

Weeping deceipt is so easy for me
‘Cause the loathing I’ve had from the start
Evil disease, all the hatred it breathes
As I’m down on my knees, torn apart

Take me away!
Set me on fire!
There’s no other way!

Give me a reason ’cause I’ve got nothing to gain
So what are we doing now
Feeling complacent I cannot be contained
I’m so lost and lonely now

Where do I run
Where do I hide
Give me a reason to end my life

Where do I run
Where do I hide
Give me a reason to get out alive

Give me a reason ’cause I’ve got nothing to gain
So what are we doing now
Feeling complacent I cannot be contained
I’m so lost and lonely now

Give me a reason ’cause I’ve got nothing to gain
So what am I doing now
(What am I doing now)
Feeling complacent I cannot be contained
I’m so lost and lonely now

I can’t help this going down

I can’t take this
All my life is reckless
All our lives are dangerous
But we fake our way through
That’s what we do
We do

Sometimes things don’t go away
In turn, you just run away
It’s all coming back for you
Betrayed, life is in decay
Your thoughts you cannot obey
Right now, whatcha gonna do

I can’t help this going down

I can’t take this
All my life is reckless
All our lives are dangerous
But we fake our way through
That’s what we do
We do, we do, we do
We do, we do, we do
We do, we do, we do

I hear the calling of the helpless stranger
He’s all alone and no one gets his anger
I feel his pain everytime I’m here with you, with you
All the heartache and the fucked up insults
I find you begging on your knees
I figured this is how it’s supposed to be with you, with you
I can’t wait for your lies to be broken down
I gave you hell

I can’t take this
All my life is reckless
All our lives are dangerous
But we fake our way through
That’s what we do

I can’t take this
All my life is reckless
All our lives are dangerous
But we fake our way through
That’s what we do

We are hard at play
Always praised to do what they say
Calling me deranged
Feeling power, I must take its place some way

Never gonna run away
Seeking out the path
But the pain always gets in the way
Slowly watch me die
I’m insane, so dangerous
Don’t you dare get in my way
Throwing in the towel
Got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins

We are the ones reaching out in vain
Trying to solve our problems
They won’t go away
Go away now
You’re the one that makes me feel like I’m alive
You’re the one that pushes me all the time
All the time, now

We are hard at play
Always praised to do what they say
Calling me deranged
Feeling power, I must take its place some way

Never gonna run away
Seeking out my path
But the pain always gets in the way
Slowly watch me die
I’m insane, so dangerous
Don’t you dare get in my way
Throwing in the towel
Got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins

Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins

Never gonna run away
Seeking out my path
But the pain always gets in the way
Slowly watch me die
I’m insane, so dangerous
Don’t you dare get in my way
Throwing in the towel
Got me strained, so betrayed
Get the fuck out of my way
Looking at my thoughts, I take my time

Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins
Pounding all these spikes in my veins

Looking at my thoughts, I take my time
Pounding all these spikes in my veins

I don’t fake in security
Get up and don’t look back now
Don’t look back now

We ride a dying star
Across a burning sea
We’re like a supernova now
The fire’s burning in me
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria

Giving up, I won’t stop fightning
Bring it on, it won’t phase me
Anytime, it makes me stronger
Living day to day
Shockwaves shatter me

I dont fake in security
Get up and don’t look back now
Don’t look back now

We ride a dying star
Across a burning sea
We’re like a supernova now
The fire’s burning in me
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria

Go on day to day
Stirring up the heavy sorrow
Why does life got be this way?
Everytime I’m up it kills me
Somewhere deep, responding change
Manipulation rampant all around
Dark all these days
Calling on something to follow
Mass hysteria [Mass hysteria]

We ride a dying star
Across a burning sea
We’re like a supernova now
The fire is burning in me
Mass Hysteria
Mass Hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria

And everybody’s peeking
No one makes a sound
The shadows are deceiving
Paranoid and aroused

Slap me, I am shaking
And my guts are really aching
And the demons they’re laughing out loud
Spare me, I am fading
And my will is dissapating
As the angels put me into the ground

And everybody’s peeking
No one makes a sound
The shadows are deceiving
Paranoid and aroused

My mind is debating
These lesions are making
This medicines sedating
The power embracing
The bullshit I’m facing
My feelings of hating
Reality is failing
This shit’s degrading

And everybody’s peeking
No one makes a sound
The shadows are deceiving
Paranoid and aroused

The bullshit I’m facing
My feelings of hating
Reality is failing
This shit’s degrading

Damn

I don’t ever want to have to try
And though I lie
It never flies

I don’t ever wanna have to die
But deep inside
The death it hides

And I never wanna clarify
And justify
So I run and hide

And I never wanna signify
So I pacify all the hate inside

I’ll never love again!
I wont ever have to pretend!
I’m never gonna love again!
Never gonna have to try to pretend!
Never!
Never!
Never!

I don’t ever wanna satisfy
’cause things inside are doing fine
I don’t ever wanna multiply
’cause deep inside I’m not qualified
And I never wanna clarify and justify
so I run and hide
And I never wanna signify
so I pacify all the hate inside

I’ll never love again!
I wont ever have to pretend!
I’m never gonna love again!
Never gonna have to try to pretend!
Never!
Never!
Never!

I’ll never love again
I’ll never love again

Never! Never! Never!

I’ll never love again!
I wont ever have to pretend!
I’m never gonna love again!
Never gonna have to try to pretend!
Never!
Never!
Never!

Never! Never! Never!
Never! Never! Never!

I’m never gonna love again!
Never gonna have to try to pretend!
Never! Never! Never!

Fighting to survive, there’s no tomorrow
Fighting to survive, there’s no today
Fight or flight
I’m losing my mind
Heavy on the heart, there’s no tomorrow
Heavy on the heart, there’s no today
Fight or flight
I’m losing my mind

I’m hanging like a bat today
Crucified by design
Every little move I make
It’s punishment time, now
I’m sleeping on a bed of nails
They’re breaking through one at a time
Cause every little move I make
The punishment’s mine

Fighting to survive, there’s no tomorrow
Fighting to survive, there’s no today
Fight or flight
I’m losing my mind
Heavy on the heart, there’s no tomorrow
Heavy on the heart, there’s no today
Fight or flight
I’m losing my mind

I give and don’t get
I’ll try to my death
There’s something inside me
That makes me forget

I give and don’t get
I’ll try to my death
There’s something inside me
That makes me forget

I give and don’t get
I’ll try to my death
There’s something inside me
That makes me forget

I give and don’t get
I’ll try to my death
There’s something inside me
That makes me forget

Fighting to survive, there’s no tomorrow
Fighting to survive, there’s no today
Fight or flight
I’m losing my mind
Heavy on the heart, there’s no tomorrow
Heavy on the heart, there’s no today
Fight or flight
I’m losing my mind

Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind

Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind

One, I love hurting you
Two, I love your pain
Three, let’s get together and
Play the sinner’s game
Four is for the torture and
Five is for the shame
Cause every time you want it
I get off on this game

You wanted to play
The coldness follows
This isn’t a game
Your life I’ll swallow
And I can’t help
But smile at your pain
You wanted to play
But I already won

Oobing, I plant the seed
Inside your head
Right away, watch it grow
Destroying your insides
Pleading to comfort you
With my sadistic ways
I watch the tears fall
I crack a smile

One, I love hurting you
Two, I love your pain
Three, let’s get together and
Play the sinner’s game
Four is for the torture and
Five is for the shame
Cause every time you want it
I get off on this game

You wanted to play
The coldness follows
This isn’t a game
Your life, I’ll swallow
And I can’t help
But smile at your pain
You wanted to play
But I already won

I look at you and start to crack
Start to crack
I give to you, you take it back
Take it back
This lullaby is all you have
All you have
Sadistic pleasure, I attack
I attack

I attack
I attack
I attack
I attack

You wanted to play
The coldness follows
This isn’t a game
Your life, I’ll swallow
And I can’t help
But smile at your pain
You wanted to play
But I already won
I already won
I already won

Victimized, deceived
A black veil of insanity’s crushing
Like fire beating all of our disease
The black veil of insanity misleads

Our hearts are free
Does that mean anything?
Do what we’re told
Self-seeking hypocrisy
How many times have you been misguided?
How many times have your hopes been smited?
This life means fuck to me

Victimized, deceived
A black veil of insanity’s crushing
Like fire beating all of our disease
The black veil of insanity misleads

Black veil
It’s coming for me
It’s coming for me
It’s coming for me
It’s coming for me

It’s the black veil of insanity
It’s coming for me
Set free
Set free
Set free
Set free
Set free
Set free
Set free
Set free
Set free

Victimized, deceived
A black veil of insanity’s crushing
Like fire beating all of our disease
The black veil of insanity misleads

How many times a day must I die?
Nothings gonna work today
I’m killin time
Looking all around to find a way
It’s all wrong
Knowing that my demon won
I’m done

Have I been led astray?
Blaming the righteous
What do you think they’d say?
Attacking the alter

How many times a day must I die?
Nothings gonna work today
I’m killin time
Looking all around to find a way
It’s all wrong
Knowing that my demon won
I’m done

I’m done

I’m done with faceless feelings
I’m done with anything
I’m done with trying to support you
And sacrificing everything
Everything, everything

How many times a day must I die?
Nothings gonna work today
I’m killin time
Looking all around to find a way
It’s all wrong
Knowing that my demon won
I’m done
