I think these are the correct lyrics. Not 100% on the second verse but I think the chorus and the rest are mostly correct. Any corrections are very welcome :)

This spectacle will collapse, It's not a false alarm, The ashes settle in.

I guess we are the insane, As we ignore the mirror's truth. Should I join the feast? Should I acknowledge the leash? A future in captivity, I'm not who I'm supposed to be.

We're not even trying, Let this light explode.

The bleeding, we deceive them, Fuel the lies, their fires. Is there a higher reason, We should live by their laws? Call the swarm, Feed them another false hope.

We're not even trying, To ignite life's dream, Let this light explode. We're not even trying, Find the exit sign and disappear.

We're not even trying, To ignite life's dream, Let this light explode. We're not even trying, Find the exit sign and disappear.

As for the meaning of this song, I think it's about facing up to the truth and acknowledging that there is more to life than what we currently live for and that we're not really putting any effort into making the most of it. Great song and so is the rest of the single!
