Perfect Blue

'Crying wolf' going on too long
Hoaxing through my teeth
I don't amount to anything
My sense of purpose has metastasize
I'm a house of mirrors with no self-reflection

Long live the dead ringers
Golden statues, burnt to cinder
Doomed to be serial victims
Born to bleed, framed and idolized

If you wish to be perfect
Displayed to be seen
Just so you know
The sky's never blue from above
None of this is real
Paranoia taught me
That within control lies disbelief

Blister to touch, an infectious warmth
Dying to be perceived as I really fucking am

Influential cattle without a goddamn map
Tricked to be satiated
With only ashes in our mouths

Numbers and glitter
Empty plates bathed in silver
A sycophantic dance
Mesmerizing and unsynchronized
Leading the broken to their
Long forgotten promised land

If you wish to be perfect
Displayed to be seen
Just so you know
The sky's never blue from above
None of this is real
Paranoia taught me
That within control lies disbelief

Counterfeits and surrogates
We lost the plot and don't even care anymore

We don't even care anymore

There must be something real
Just outside these walls
But nevermind, come inside
Ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is bliss

If you wish to be perfect
Displayed to be seen
Just so you know
The sky's never blue

If you wish to be perfect
Displayed to be seen
Just so you know
The sky's never blue from above
None of this is real
Paranoia taught me
That within control lies disbelief
