Are we lost in the night?
In a world lit just by gaslight
We pretend that we can't feel (The spiral)
Growing into something real (Arrival)
If we're in a simulation
This could be an indication
Maybe they should turn it off and
Turn it back on again (Prepare for the end)
(Three, two, one, oh)
Batten down the fucking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Dystopia
Dystopia
Abandon mission
They've jammed the systems
We've done all we can
It's a braindead wasteland
We don't need your education
We just need more stimulation
Fuel for our obliteration
Setting it all aglow (It's gonna blow)
Batten down the fucking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Lock your windows, close your doors and hide
Something wicked has got inside
Post-dramatic trauma addict high
We're the victims of our own device
Lock your windows, close your doors and hide
Something wicked has got inside
Batten down the fucking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Batten down the fucking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Batten down the fucking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Too bad we almost had it
Too bad we almost had it
In a world lit just by gaslight
We pretend that we can't feel (The spiral)
Growing into something real (Arrival)
This could be an indication
Maybe they should turn it off and
Turn it back on again (Prepare for the end)
(Three, two, one, oh)
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Dystopia
They've jammed the systems
We've done all we can
It's a braindead wasteland
We just need more stimulation
Fuel for our obliteration
Setting it all aglow (It's gonna blow)
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it

Lock your windows, close your doors and hide
Something wicked has got inside
This is what you get when you still play with matches

'Cause the words broke our bones and we're

Too bad we almost had it
Batten down the fucking hatches
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
This is what you get when you still play with matches
Now we go back to sticks, back to stones
'Cause the words broke our bones and we're
Right back to the same old habits
Too bad we almost had it
Too bad we almost had it

Will we ever learn from our past transgressions? Because if we don't we're doomed to repeat the same mistakes...
