Empire of Desire

[Verse 1]
Empire of desire, our simulation caves in
At the drop of chaos, when fight or flight kicks in
Do you hold your ground, do you bring it down?
The fate of us is designed by them

Welcome to the simulacrum
One man's dream to construct
The Machine

And if we die one day in infamy, at least we'll be known to somebody
False color dream, all we ever wanted was security
After all this time, I find you're just a dream
Invested in broken concepts and hollow ideals

If your mind doesn't paint a home out of the static
It will collapse
But you’re not holding the brush
So they entertain the last laugh

And now we adore indulgence in poison
Ultra pleasure in excess give way to our delirium murmurs
Cuz I'm hypnotized, loving a clockwork life
I'm in love with her

Forever, Oh Forever
