[Verse 1: Brian Burkheiser]
I've got a lot of bad things in my mind
The simulation crashing by design
And my mind is dangerous, don't play with things you don't
Know, know, know, know
I'm falling into dark thoughts that I find
Reality is long gone, but that's fine
And my mind is dangerous, don't play with things you don't
Know, know, know, know
[Verse 2: Eric Vanlerberghe]
I know you hate to see it, but you never wanna talk about it
And hate yourself a little more when you can't live without it
It's like praying for rain when you're already drowning
You're already drowning, yeah
So go ahead and twist the knife, I can't feel the damage
Always searching for the high, never kicked the habit
It's like praying for rain, but I'm already drowning
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser & Eric Vanlerberghe]
I keep staring at the sun, it's in my blood
I'm heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun, have I gone numb? (Gone numb)
It's a goddamn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I'm holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
'Cause I'm in love with bad things (Bad things)
Yeah, I'm in love with
[Verse 3: Eric Vanlerberghe]
I keep on falling like it's summer going into autumn
I keep on digging even though I'm 'bout to hit the bottom
It's like praying for change, but I never found it
No, I never found it, yeah
So go ahead and twist the knife, I can't feel the damage
Always searching for the high, never kicked the habit
It's like praying for change, but I never found it
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser & Eric Vanlerberghe]
I keep staring at the sun, it's in my blood
I'm heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun, have I gone numb? (Gone numb)
It's a goddamn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I'm holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
'Cause I'm in love with bad things (Bad things)
Yeah, I'm in love with
[Bridge: Eric Vanlerberghe]
Looking into the abyss, the future is a myth
I'm holding onto hope, it's a problem, I admit
Letting go of my fear, a feeling I miss
The Devil is real and I'm caught in his grip
Looking into the abyss, the future is a myth
I'm holding onto hope, it's a problem, I admit
Letting go of my fear, a feeling I miss
The Devil is real and I'm caught in his grip
Oh, oh
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser & Eric Vanlerberghe]
I keep staring at the sun, it's in my blood
I'm heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun, have I gone numb? (Gone numb)
It's a goddamn shame (Goddamn shame)
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I'm holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
'Cause I'm in love with bad things
Yeah, I'm in love with bad things
Yeah, I'm in love with
[Outro: Eric Vanlerberghe]
The Devil is real and I'm caught in his grip

The general idea of being in love with something that’s hurting you at the same time and almost being aware that it’s hurting you, but you just can’t let it up. And what it is about specifically, I think that’s up to the listener to pick up and relate to on their own. I think it’s an intimate song f...
