Mick Gordon
False Providence
[Verse 1]
Cold, no emotion felt
An ocean sinking into itself
Far down I go, 'til I'm someone else
And every dream is a hollow shell

[Bridge]
A lost soul, I forfeit control to be with you
Whatever it takes to please you
With blood that I've sold, I'll do what I'm told
Now until forever
A lost soul, I forfeit control to be with you
Whatever it takes to please you
I swear to do what I'm told, with blood that I've sold
Now until forever

[Pre-Chorus]
These faces keep fading

[Chorus]
Pray to the ones that keep you safe
Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven
As gods speak through us, suicidal sights rеmain
These apparitions have blurrеd our vision, conflicted

[Verse 2]
But we were born to create
I feel a yearning for what lies beyond the charade, it calls my name
The words escape from the page
And now I struggle to recall
Why I found myself here in the first place
[Bridge]
Hold your breath for spirits to bring you to life
Wait for death and realize you've wasted your time
Unsaturated and stranded inside
A world without any meaning, so I
Hold my breath for spirits to bring me to life
Whatever brings us to...
Life!
Bring us to life!

[Chorus]
Pray to the ones that keep you safe
Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven
As gods speak through us, suicidal sights remain
These apparitions have blurred our vision, conflicted
Pray to the ones that keep you safe
Acts of contrition come to fruition, forgiven
As gods speak through us, suicidal sights remain
These apparitions have blurred our vision, conflicted

[Bridge]
These faces keep fading
Memories not worth saving
Complacent, eyes vacant
All colors dissipating
[Verse 3]
But we were born to create
I feel a yearning for what lies beyond the charade, it calls my name
The words escape from the page
And now I struggle to recall
Why I found myself here in the first place
