I'm not addicted but I'm not clean
Why do I do this to myself on repeat?
Ab
So disconnected from my own reality
Am I man or machine?
      Cm
If I give, will you take?
As I lie for the taste

As you lap it up

Because I define who I

I miss the me that I have not met
Choking in silence on the words left unsaid

I feel a sickness for a home I've never been
And I exist in black and white but now I'm seeing red

I built a shelter in complacency

                                                  Ab
Locked myself in and set fire and threw away the key
Too scared to live but I'm afraid to die So am I living or am I just alive? [Chorus]

Driven to right the wrong

Silent, connected yet I feel so separated

Fallen through flesh and bone

                 Bb Cm
Frozen, I stand alone

Deafened in silence, the voice remains

Behind my eyes, beneath my rage

Out of time and out of faith
I define who I become [Chorus]

So save me from the webs that I have spun
