“‘Hallelujah’ was one of those songs that kind of just came out. We had a rough outline in a day or so, and then we started building around it.

[Intro]
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
[Verse 1]
I can't remember, no, remember yesterday
I got a taste for apathy, I let it wash away the dream
I wanna know the madness and how it eats me inside out
I wanna feel the echo, the shame coursing through my veins
[Chorus]
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
(Hallelujah)
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
[Verse 2]
I've been awake so long, reality escapes
I can't find a place to sleep, let the devil swallow me
I'm swimming in the madness, the living water that I drink
I wanna be the virus, decay
[Interlude]
This is madness, maybe in my head
This is madness, maybe in my head
This is madness, maybe in my head
This is madness, maybe in my head
[Bridge]
There's a hundred million ways to feel alive
(This is madness, maybe in my head)
Time flies trying to find a place to hide
(This is madness, maybe in my head)
Get a grip, get a grip
Take a different number, get a fix
Will I ever get a break from this?
Will I ever get away from it?
Make it stop
[Breakdown]
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is
This is fucking hell
[Chorus]
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
Oh
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
Hallelujah
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
This is fucking hell
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
[Outro]
Cut the lights, face yourself
We're not dreaming, this is hell
