A Meaningless Exchange Lyrics

It took six months to forget everything I knew

And I'm sorry I never got back to you

The sweater thread I pulled is getting to long

Try to find the right words singing to the wrong song

I'm too tattered to take the next step

My drug's a 5:3 screen with a 3D effect

I want the static noise to stop

I'm gonna hold on to this feeling 'til my head (pops)

And I'm stuck oscillating a choice

Between the words in my head

And ones that might fit my voice

I really hate the way I sound

But I think that it's better than treading the same ground

I've had this thought since I was nine

That there is nothing left for me in the afterlife

So when the empty comes to interrupt my fun

I shouldn't care, and yet I'm terrified

What does it mean to be alive

What is the value of mankind

Freedom, God, and Suicide

I think that he abandoned us

So does it really matter if I die

I need a better reason why

A new way

Cause the only way we've ever known

Means it won't matter if we kill the ones

Who just want to be left alone

A new way

Cause the only way I've ever known

Means it won't matter if I end the world

So why do I keep moving on alone

I'm sick of chasing honesty

Wish I could give up and still be seen

So when the heat passes over me

I'll leave an afterimage on your screen

It's never easy to feel insane

While piece by piece you keep picking at my brain

Looking for answers you think I gave

Left in the lyrics that I promise don't mean a thing

I've had this thought since I was nine

That there is nothing left for me in the afterlife

So when the empty comes to interrupt my fun

I shouldn't care, and yet I'm terrified

What does it mean to be alive

What is the value of mankind

Freedom, God, and Suicide

I think that he abandoned us

So does it really matter if I die

I need a better reason why

A new way

Cause the only way we've ever known

Means it won't matter if we kill the ones

Who just want to be left alone

A new way

Cause the only way I've ever known

Means it won't matter if I end the world

So why do I keep moving on alone

Take a break from the bubblegum

We will never be old enough to know

Where we come from

'Cause History is not enough

And when I see my eyes

I make a small wish to father time

And his wishing well of lies

That I'll never see come true in this life

It's a meaningless exchange

Makes me wonder why we number all our days

And I hate that I spend all my time inside

It isn't enough just to be remembered, let's do this

A new way

Cause the only way we've ever known

Means it won't matter if we kill the ones

Who just want to be left alone

A new way

Cause the only way I've ever known

Means it won't matter if I end the world

So why do I keep moving on alone
