lyrics

These stories never have beginnings
Hard to believe something so unconvincing
I'll never know why I'm under a stained glass dome
And there's no way round, no way out

Half a lifetime of losing focus buzzing alive
I swear that there's no village inside this city, that is a lie
Half a million times the world predicts itself
I never saw what's hidden beyond the continental shelf

And all the trials that you hated
Stuck in a life that's simulated
I'll never trace why I filled up with empty space
With no beginning just an ending

I swear I saw your face inside a mushroom cloud
I swear that everyone hears me crystal clear when I don't make a sound
Half a million times the world predicts itself
I never saw what's hidden beyond the continental shelf

I'm a victim of this luxury
To feel more alive in memories

All the stories we heard about the idiot king
All of the myths that shook us before they started happening
Half a million times the world repeats itself
I never saw what's hidden beyond the continental shelf
