Lyrics by Sam Kirkpatrick
artificial love
Verse 1
Woke up full of dread
Loves spinning right round my head
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
No one told me the rules of this deal
Prechorus
Am I ready for more?
To sell myself and soar?
Will I make it to the end?
I don't think I'm built to bend
Chorus
It's not fair, I'm not true
Where does love start and end with you?
Falling from heights unknown
Where do I fall on the spectrum of-?
Verse 2
Living like a needle stick
Full up but too dumb to quit
It's tearing me apart, right from my heart
I don't know if I'm capable of more
Prechorus
Am I ready to become?
To learn the ways of love?
Do you tell the truth?
I don't think that I do
Chorus
It's not fair, I'm not real
You said you loved me bout a hundred times right here
Pierced by cupids cursed arrow
Where do I fall if I don't trust-?
Bridge
Burned the bridges we walked over
Told you I was just hungover
Felt the fears I thought I wouldn't
Lied to keep the thoughts just prudent
Broke my heart without your help
I told you I loved you as well
It's hard to feel the happiness
When you need me to feel my best
And I could crash and burn so hard
And I could fuck this up, oh lord
There wouldn't be a reason though
So I'll just go on with the show
A wish is all it ends up being
A functioning unloved machine
And what it is is what it was
There's no way to feel like I'm loved
Chorus
It's not fair, I'm empty
You're the best thing to ever happen to me
I don't care, I'm just stuck
Thinking about all this artificial love
Woke up full of dread
Loves spinning right round my head
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
No one told me the rules of this deal
Prechorus
Am I ready for more?
To sell myself and soar?
Will I make it to the end?
I don't think I'm built to bend
Chorus
It's not fair, I'm not true
Where does love start and end with you?
Falling from heights unknown
Where do I fall on the spectrum of-?
Verse 2
Living like a needle stick
Full up but too dumb to quit
It's tearing me apart, right from my heart
I don't know if I'm capable of more
Prechorus
Am I ready to become?
To learn the ways of love?
Do you tell the truth?
I don't think that I do
Chorus
It's not fair, I'm not real
You said you loved me bout a hundred times right here
Pierced by cupids cursed arrow
Where do I fall if I don't trust-?

And what it is is what it was

You're the best thing to ever happen to me
I don't care, I'm just stuck
Thinking about all this artificial love
déjà rêvé
Verse 1
It's the end of the year
Persephone's wish for our fallout to commence forever here
For the lonesome period
A stable time, unclear
A lesson of truths, and wishing that I could picture your face
Believe me, I'm not that way
Pre Chorus
And would
Would you hold on to the memories that we once shared?
That we once wanted
And could
Could you believe that I am no longer within my past?
More so, I'm on the right path but
Chorus
Everything changes when you're underneath
I could conjure up a dream, everlasting
Where we'd be together, a moment in time
But you're not around for the hope I can't find
I try to believe that it's all for the better
A painful reminder that I'm just untethered
A constant in time, something I can't construct
But we're passing by like a dream that I lost with you
With me
Déjà vu or déjà rêvé
Verse 2
I watch from the sky
A tainted perception from behind a lens coated in mystery
Dissociating from here
Was I ever right?
I recall your image, but in a matter of seconds you fade
Am I even awake?
Pre Chorus
And would
Would I be able to materialize you within my dreams?
Or would I hit reality
And could
Could it just be that you were something I had to create?
To unseal my own fate, cause
Chorus
Everything changes when you're underneath
I could conjure up a dream, everlasting
Where we'd be together, a moment in time
But you're not around for the hope I can't find
I try to assemble a world in my mind
Where you might be real and not destined a lie
A figure of speech, something I can't construct
But we're falling free like a dream that's I've lost with you
With me
Déjà vu or déjà rêvé
Bridge
I can see you walking towards the night
I can see you walking towards the light
I can feel you're no longer in my life
I can't see you no further with my eyes
I can see you walking towards the night
I can see you walking towards the light
I can feel you're no longer in my life
I can't see you no further with my eyes
Outro
Hold me, soothe me, love me safely
I've been hoping, I've been waiting
I've been longing for your touch
I wish that we could be in love
Hold me, soothe me, love me gently
I've been waiting for a century
I'm broken, broken, broken still
I've been hoping, hoping that you're real
It's the end of the year
Persephone's wish for our fallout to commence forever here
For the lonesome period
A stable time, unclear
A lesson of truths, and wishing that I could picture your face
Believe me, I'm not that way
Pre Chorus

pleasure
verse 1
it feels like pain without reciprocal dismay
a knot that's only too tight to fray for those who bear the strength
we like to share, but not get caught in someone else's hair
we're scared that it won't last long enough for them to care
cause soon it's gonna end
refrain
so please just tell me what it is that I must owe to feel a semblance of all your daily lives
cause I seem to be locked out of a learning curve that no one even dares to talk about on the outside
verse 2
it feels like pain, a solitary confined space
a synonym for what I wear on my face
there's no such thing as strength
a whored affair with the one and only king of despair
unfair entitled roaming without a care
that soon it's gonna end
pre chorus
so please just tell me what it is that I must show to intercept the backwards wiring of my mind
cause I seem to be locked out of a learning curve that everybody doubts themselves about on the inside
chorus
cause this pleasures just a game
are you sure that you're not in pain?
the walls surround me like a maze
it's hard to find the right path to take
imprisoned in this cage
cause my pleasure feels like pain
pleasure feels like pain
pleasure feels like-
post chorus
insane on the winter
insane on the winter feeling
x8
bridge
pleasure and pain go hand in hand
id make a change if I had the chance
all thoughts must wait for someone's glance
is this a fucking snuff film or just a shitty romance?
cause I tried to fix this but it broke
my heads in bits, I've had a stroke
all feelings stem from one big joke
I'm in the audience but I'm not fucking laughing at the show
at the show
it's all for show
you're all on show
chorus
cause this pleasures just a game
(can I revert back home now)
are you sure that you're not in pain?
the walls surround me like a maze
it's hard to find the right path to take
imprisoned in this cage
cause this pleasures just in vain
(can I resist your charm now)
I know you all just fake it anyways
(how do you stay so renowned)
the walls construct two paths to take
so finally lets eradicate
our addiction to this game
cause our pleasure is just pain
outro
