Elective Amnesia Songtext / Lyric

We don't sleep very much

These triggers ache for the touch

Where's the strength we relied on?

Here alone, like a crutch

Maybe that's what keeps us up

All the night with a light on



Howling screams simulate

Lives that no longer take place

Can this be what we've become?



Paper-thin, overweight

Pills to arouse or sedate

Still we don't know what we want



We can let go

Can't you see?

To lose control

Is to be

Finally free






First a spark

Then a flame

Now a fire

We explode

Into the darkest of nights

Disconnect

Cut the cord

Lights are dead

Now they'll know

With everything comes a price



And each day we are torn

Between the right and the wrong

Between life and convenience

While you sleep, why complain

There's always channels to change

It's like elective amnesia



As we grow older

In this place

Let's just start over

Let's erase

What they've made



First a spark

Then a flame

Now a fire

We explode

Into the darkest of nights

Disconnect

Cut the cord

Lights are dead

Now they'll know

With everything comes a price!



It could be minutes away

It could be hours or days

Before the bottom falls out

Before the ground gives way

Into this debt we are born

a debt we try to repay

And yet we blacken the sky

Smoke rising out of the flames



Now they'll know...



(First a spark)

(Then a flame)

(Now a fire)

We explode

Into the darkest of nights

(Disconnect)

(Cut the cord)

(Lights are dead)

Now they'll know

With everything comes a price



(First a spark)

(Then a flame)

(Now a fire)

We explode...

We explode...

With everything comes a price...

(First a spark)

(Then a flame)

(Now a fire)

We explode

We explode...
