[Verse 1]
Hold me close, don’t leave me
In the catacombs
Everyone, everyone, everyone we know will die alone
(Everyone, everyone, everyone we know will die)
Help me now, I’m bleeding
Bleeding on the floor
Everything, everything, everything inside me is a war

[Pre-Chorus]
So, they tried to plug me in
And show me evеrything
Now it’s on my fingers
Not sure I want this

[Chorus]
Too much of a good thing
Not sure I want it anymorе
I can’t sleep when the world’s awake
Not sure I want it anymore
‘Cause they bled the life from me
And left it to entropy
‘Cause it’s too much of a good thing
Not sure I want it anymore

[Post-Chorus]
Modern life is lonely
How do I get off?
Overstimulated by everything I thought would be enough
(Overstimulated by everything I thought would be enough)

[Verse 2]
So, they tried to plug me in
Perforate my skin
Another door is open
And we can close it

[Pre-Chorus]
Hair levitates
My iris pixelates
Can’t feel my fingers
Not sure I want this

[Chorus]
Too much of a good thing
Not sure I want it anymore
I can’t sleep when the world’s awake
Not sure I want it anymore
‘Cause they bled the life from me
And left it to entropy
‘Cause it’s too much of a good thing
Not sure I want it anymore

[Bridge]
Present at the precipice
I teeter at the fulcrum
Waiting for a catalyst
Modern life is lonely
I can’t be the only one
Present at the precipice
I teeter at the fulcrum
Waiting for a catalyst
Modern life is lonely
I can’t be the only one
Present at the precipice
I teeter at the fulcrum
Waiting for a catalyst
Modern life is lonely

[Breakdown]
Present at the precipice
I teeter at the fulcrum
Waiting for a catalyst
Modern life is lonely
I can’t be the only one

[Verse 3]
So, they burrowed through my skull
And changed the chemicals
You and I are mammals
Deeply entangled

[Breakdown]
Present at the precipice
I teeter at the fulcrum
Waiting for a catalyst
Modern life is lonely
I can’t be the only one

[Verse 4]
Though, we can’t unchange
From all that we became
Now the box is open
The paw is coiling

[Outro]
Modern life is lonely
I can’t be the only one
