  • Go!
    Tell me your misery
    Give us the antidote
    I heard the voice of change
    Behind a vacant note

    All this tearing apart
    Without a reform
    Call it what you will
    I'm not afraid to say

    I've heard it all, connection lost
    We're standing by, artificial light
    You sell a fix for our defect
    And all we find, artificial light

    Doesn't break the model
    I can't feel it in my bones
    Nothing shattering my world (No!)

    We want a real cure
    Not idle sympathy
    The dark consuming light
    That you have failed to be

    No, it's not enough
    I resent this deprivation
    Your remedy is not a weapon
    To slaughter the sorrow
    It's just to keep you from feeling alone

    I've heard it all, connection lost
    We're standing by, artificial light
    You sell a fix for our defect
    And all we find, artificial light

    Doesn't break the model
    I can't feel it in my bones
    Nothing shattering my world (No!)

    Doesn't break the model
    I can't feel it in my bones
    Nothing shattering my world (No!)

    I'll never see what they see in you

    Doesn't break the model
    I can't feel it in my bones
    Nothing shattering my world (No!)

    Doesn't break the model
    I can't feel it in my bones
    Nothing shattering my world (No!) Writer/s: PATRICK JOHN JUDGE, RYAN CURTIS CLARK
