  • We're now up here alone
    Terror on the intercom, can someone save us?
    Systems malfunction
    Blast it, this damn machine
    Over and out captain

    Something lurks, creeps
    On the counter top somewhere behind you
    Parasitic cyst, I can't stand to watch
    It's coming up and out of your chest
    Remember when we were young?

    Sit up right on the table
    A photograph of earth feeding me a way back
    Frightened, I tear alone, or maybe not the only one there
    Hello, hello? When it rings, will you answer?

    There, corner tall, short stance
    It's you, come on kill me
    You made a good friend to me
    But while you were outnumbered and torn
    You made us do things

    Oh, dear god, I don't feel alive
    When you're cut short of misery
    Will you pray it be the end?
    Give a look of surprised, wide eyes to me

    Then you'll know just what I am
    The scare that triggers your fear
    Come know me in a different light now
    Come know me as god

    You made a good friend to me
    But while you were outnumbered and torn
    You made us do things to you

    Run sand hourglass
    When it's my time, will I be worth?
    Spin round carousel
    When your horse isn't screwed in

    Oh, dear god, I don't feel alive
    When you're cut short of misery (raise forth lost cause)
    Will you pray it be the end?
    Give a look surprised, wide eyes to me (raise forth lost cause)
    Then you'll know just what I am (subtle demise the legitimate cry)
    The scare that triggers your fear
    Come know me in a different light now
    Come know me as god (raise forth lost cause) Writer/s: Claudio Sanchez, Joshua Eppard, Michael Todd, Travis Stever
