[Verse 1]
I saw them all around today
They don't stop, they won't go away
They love the darkness in my eyes
Help me find a way out when I'm lost within myself
Lost within myself
When I'm lost within myself
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They show me everything I need
There's nothing wrong with a little greed
Never enough to satisfy
Such a driving desire that burns inside
My life came with its own scars
I don't need you to tell me about your sorrow
I can't say I've seen it all
But I live for the things that keep me hollow
[Chorus]
Every day, I look into the mirror
Staring back, I look less familiar
I've seen all seven faces
Each one looks a lot like me
[Interlude]
They all look like me
I never see them coming
But they show me more of myself
Drawn into the depths
I never knew existed
Launching me face-first
Into the pleasures of pure lust and greed
[Bridge]
I am becoming all things envied, I am the excess
I want it all, more pain, more sex, more lies
More of everything
[Lead - King]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My life came with its own scars
I don't need you to tell me about your sorrow
I can't say I've seen it all
But I live for the things that keep me hollow
[Chorus]
Every day, I look into the mirror
Staring back, I look less familiar
I've seen all seven faces
Each one looks a lot like me
I've seen all seven faces
Each one looks a lot like me
They all look like me
[Bridge]
I am becoming all things envied, I am the excess
I want it all, more pain, more sex, more lies
More of everything
Everything
