lyrics

WAS IT EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT IT COULD BE?
DOES IT LIVE UP TO ITS NAME?
OR IS IT JUST AN IDEA IN YOUR HEAD
SENT AWAY FROM A POSTCARD
YOU'RE STUCK IN A FANTASY
NOT THE LIFE YOU LEAD
DIAMONDS AND GUNS / ZEROS AND ONES
EVERYDAY JUST LYING IN PERFECT SUN
JUST MORE OF THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL ME
THE MORE YOU SPEAK THE MORE I SEE
YOU HAVE NOTHING WORTHY TO SAY
IN SPITE OF THE WEB YOU WEAVE
YOU REALLY THINK YOUR FOOLING ME?
YOU'RE LIVING A FANTASY
IN LOVE WITH A MEMORY
PUMP IT / TILL I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING
AND EVERYTHING ELSE BECOMES NOTHING
ALL THE FREQUENCIES HAVE BECOME THE SAME
JUST MORE OF THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL ME
IN LOVE WITH A MOMENT THAT'S DEAD AND GONE
YOU'RE LIVING A FANTASY
CAN'T HEAR YOU BEYOND MY REACH
SO DIME IT / CAUSE NO ONE'S LISTENING
BLOW OUT / CAUSE NO ONE CARES ANYWAY
JUST WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY?
JUST MORE OF THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL ME
