State of Substance Lyrics

There's a plague upon this world

Though it may pain you to see

That the world that you have been shown

Is not reality

The one that you call freedom

Your only escape

Is just another hiding place

Until life kicks you in the teeth

You will never understand

You will never fucking see

And like a slave to substance

I'm a slave to the loneliness

Do you remember me before all this?

No

Because I didn't exist

That the world that you live in

Is not the same for you and me

Get out while you can

You're not living the dream

It's all about perspective

And what you choose to see

It's all about reality

And fighting for those dreams

We're holding silence

Don't walk away

Bring another bullet

So you can put it through my brain

I'm walking through a world

That means nothing to me

Because every thing I see

Is screaming blind hypocrisy

I'm waking to every reason not to be here

And I'm falling for every reason to fail

The day's blend into the blackness of night

In this state of substance what reason is there to fight

You're just a slave to substance

And it's what fills me with loneliness

You don't remember me and you never will

Because I, am finished with this

I've woken from this dream

Into a world I dare not see

And as the days blend to the night

A state of substance is your only place to hide
