lyrics

I picked satisfying lies
Over painful truth
Gave up unfulfilling cry
Settled for a thrilling youth

You’ve never thought about the place
You picked your kid to see you at
You’ve never bothered

Odor of unfamiliar smoke
Absorbed by my stuffed animals
Thank you father

And picking fights was not even a decision
Over and over and over and over again
And picking fights was not even a decision
Over and over and over and over again
And picking fights was not even a decision
Over and over and over and over again
And picking fights was not a fucking decision
Over and over and over and over again

I picked satisfying lies
Over painful truth
Gave up unfulfilling cry
Settled for a thrilling youth

Since the day I was born
I’ve been mistrusted
All I ever wanted is
To be able to love you

Your explanation
For coexistence
Gave me the insight
No one to look up to

The motivation
Of world's persistence
To keep the sun bright
Is to deceive you

Generation
Of no resistance
Brought me faith
In anything but you

Your creation
Should be at a distance
Believe your own lies
We won't believe you

I picked satisfying lies
Over painful truth
Gave up unfulfilling cry
Settled for a thrilling youth

I’ve always dreamed
Of outer space
Something lifts me up from the sky
Where there is no you

No need to see
Your shocked face
You hate to live and you hate to die
I wish I didn’t know you

And picking fights was not even a decision
Over and over and over and over again
And picking fights was not even a decision
Over and over and over and over again
And picking fights was not even a decision
Over and over and over and over again
And picking fights was not a fucking decision
Over and over and over and over again
