Lyrics
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
Hold me close, I'm confused
I don't wanna go out
I told myself, "You can do this"
I'm having my doubts, oh
The old world melts like a candle a'flickering out, oh, oh
What can you do?
We're all alone in Times New Roman, no allegiance
Chasing your wish over the cliff
If you insist on daydreaming
Wake up, we need you
No more daydreaming
Don't fall asleep now
How is the fitting way of life?
Boa constricting a little too tight
Friends close, enemies closer
Lend me your ear
I say safety's an illusion, that's why it disappear
Oh, infiltrators, saboteurs
Affix your blades and steel your nerves
Maraud the facade 'cause the children want answers
Corrode from the inside like a good type of cancer
We'll piss on the clergy, the new age heathens
The old guard, avant-garde, technolojesus
The hand-made jury, cage-free corporate raiders
Patriotic, probiotic, delete us, erase us
The world, yeah, she don't need saving
'Cept from you and me and our misbehaving
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 says, "I love you"
And, oh, I love you too (carpe demon)
(To seize all your demons, carpe demon) oh, I love
Hold me close, I'm confused
I don't wanna go out
I told myself, "You can do this"
I'm having my doubts
The old world melts like a candle a'flickering out, out
Still so much to lose and I've already lost so much, oh
What can you do?
We're all alone in Times New Roman, no allegiance
Chasing your wish over the cliff
Oh, I insist on daydreaming
What can you say?
Enjoy the buffet in Times New Roman or it's treason
And what'd you expect?
I'm so goddamn sick of this place
Bring on the healing
Go on and heal me
Bring on the healing
Good dogs lay down
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
