Smoke puffs are white and piling

This head feels like an island

I am my own asylumTheir stares are beady, but I don′t mind

Let 'em take their time

′Cause there ain't no new light to shed, no, no

Pandemonium calms me down

Like an ocean, oh, an ocean, oh

And I'm kissing pillow lips

Drunk off saccharine potions, oh

And nothing really matters

′Cause everybody here is dyin′ (mm)

Dying out in slow motion (mm)

And everybody here is lyin', lyin′

Silently detonating emotions

Read the spaces between the lines

Mind your own business while I grow mine

No, it's never personal

Maybe that′s the problem

We loosen up every rung on the ladder

Serve up a smile on a silver platter

No one needs a pillar

Just a painkiller or two

'Cause everybody here is dying (mm)

Dying out in slow motion (mm)

And everybody here is lying, lying

Silently detonating emotions

We′re dying in the dark

It's written there in the stars

You're understood by so little and loved only from afar

And counting blessings is hard

I don′t quite know where to start

The gold is new, but the gray

Well, that′s just state of the art

And bottoms up to skeletons all bottled up

Always going when the going gets too tough, oh

Everybody here is dyin' (mm)

Dying out in slow motion (mm)

And everybody here is lyin′, lyin'

Silently detonating emotions

′Cause everybody here is dyin' (mm)

Dying out in slow motion (mm)

And everybody here is lyin′, lyin'

Silently detonating emotions

'Cause everybody here is dyin′
