Elective Amnesia (Single Version)

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 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, while 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

(Disconnect, cut the cord, lights are dead)

We explode

We explode
