[Madrox]
They tend to misunderstand the paper man
With scissor hands who watches the hourglass for grains of sand
To fall and fall again as he pretends
That everything he lays his hands on doesn't turn to shreds
But why oh why does he persist to hide
When they insist he try to come outside
From the shell he lives inside
Now has been hypnotized and
Despite the lies he sits and waits to die
Cuz he can't find the words to explain the rain
All these emotions are transformed and now become pain
He's alive in a black hole empty in space
And he sits in front of the mirror and he's face to face
With the sadness, confusion his patience he's losing
He's substance abusing he's one with the music
And he needs a lil something to dial it all back
Cuz he's running in a race but he's not on track
[Hook]
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
Now I've been trying to get myself together, is there something I can say that'll make you stay
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
I've been trying to get my head together, but things just don't seem to go my way[Monoxide]
All is see when I'm looking at you is me
And everyday gets a lil bit harder
Like a piece of my life's puzzle has been slipped under the carpet
And until this day I'm feeling like I'm never gonna find it
I smoke a cigarette and hope for the best
But sometimes that cigarette is just smoke in the chest and I lay in bed
But it's nothin to do with getting rest instead I use it as an escape from all the mess
Nuttin seems to matter I'm only getting sadder n sadder
Cuz I'm not even sure what I'm after
I know my life's a disaster and I better straighten it out
It's stand tall or fall a victim of getting caught in
A spiraling downfall of emotion that I call
Devotion and destruction of everything and it's my fault
I'm hoping to try more let's open up my door
And let em know I'm bringing it back like encore
[Hook]
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
Now I've been trying to get myself together, is there something I can say that'll make you stay
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
I've been trying to get my head together, but things just don't seem to go my way[Monoxide]
I'm an example of a bad example and as ample as it may seem
A sample of this poisonous apple maybe rattle a daydream
But I'm giving you reality checks and if you get it then it's properly spent
If you can't handle it yet gimme a sec
I'll make ya proud of me instead of surrounding me
Totally hounding me expecting me to be like all the rest
And I gotta be honest I'm not sure who the fuck I am on a constant basis
So many faceless faces that are faced with
Who the fuck am I with a shame it's
Not so much the lies i'm just lost in my mind
Trying to find what it is that makes me feel right inside
And I'm submerged by the urge to make it my day and night
I'm in the struggle looking to fight for the right
To be more than just alright...
And I'm looking for more light so I can see what they got in store for my life[Hook]
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
Now I've been trying to get myself together, is there something I can say that'll make you stay
Love don't live here anymore, it's been cold since you went away
I've been trying to get my head together, but things just don't seem to go my way
Ohhhooohhhooohhh
Love can be so cold...
