Headless Circuit

[[Intro] I was just trying to rest... Just another night in Skyrim... Then something broke. [Verse 1] Blue plastic prophecy in a phantom hand A hydraulic weapon no one understands Laughing with my brother through the northern snow Walking to the city where the deadlights glow Then— A crack in the silence A wound in the frame A shot through the throat And nothing’s the same My neck opened wide like a gate to hell Still hearing my heartbeat ringing like a bell [Pre-Chorus] I felt my head hanging Skin tearing slow But somehow my body Still wouldn’t let go [Chorus] I’M STILL ALIVE WITHOUT A HEAD STILL MOVING EVEN THOUGH I’M DEAD NO BLOOD CAN STOP THE MACHINE INSIDE I LOST MYSELF BUT WALKED ALIVE HEADLESS BREATHLESS VOICE INSIDE THE WIRE HEADLESS BROKEN BUT I STILL FUNCTION IN THE FIRE [Verse 2] Put the game on auto so he wouldn’t see Didn’t want my friend terrified of me Called my family while holding flesh and bone Everyone acted like it was normal No screaming No fear No horror in their eyes Just another problem Just another night The doctor made my severed mind awake But couldn’t reconnect the life that fate had taken “Hold it in your hands,” he calmly said “You’ll never work again.” [Breakdown] NEVER WORK AGAIN NEVER WORK AGAIN [Verse 3] Church lights burning in a hollow hall Men of God speaking beside the court wall I walked inside holding my neck together Trying to look human one last time forever My boss turned around Said: “What do you need?” I stretched my own head Like a document to read [Chorus 2] I’M STILL ALIVE WITHOUT A FACE A WORKING GHOST IN EMPTY SPACE THE WORLD KEPT MOVING LIKE NOTHING CHANGED WHILE I WAS FALLING OUT OF PLACE HEADLESS NAMELESS SOMETHING STILL REMAINS HEADLESS SOULLESS BUT THE BODY OBEYS [Bridge] Maybe we all walk like this Smiling while we come apart Holding our own severed minds Trying not to drop our hearts [Final Chorus] I’M STILL ALIVE WITHOUT A HEAD A WALKING CORPSE THE SYSTEM FED NO PEACE NO REST
