Lovely Things

What am I doin' lost in this ruin?

How did I end up like this?

I got no blueprints on how to get through this

Left to my own devices

When you got nothin', nothin' at all to build upon

Locked in a dungeon with only the dark to fill your heart

Shadows are watchin', applauding you as you fall apart

Callin' you nothin', because a monster's all you are

It gets harder and harder to heal

When that's all that you hear, it becomes what is real

But when your heart starts up again

What kinda rhythm will you find? (Could it be a song?)

We thought autonomy was not quite something anybody could design

I guess we were wrong

I know that love and hunger are my only drives

One without the other is a problem for my mind

'Cause if the love is gone, but not the other one

A lonely appetite is all that's left inside

In my life, I've dreamed of some lovely things

But this won't be one of 'em

In my time, I've seen lots of ugly things

But I'm far from done with 'em (whoo! You know)

Left me to my own devices, let's see how to get decisive

Because if I got a choice, I'm makin' mine

Tell me who I gotta thank, was it Frankenstein?

It's true, I took after you

I learned what a good first impression will do

But I never even got a little light to guide me

So I wouldn't say 'nice guy' quite describes me

My copied, pasted parts had such a hateful start

A demonic entity, that's what I am

A part of humanity I've never been

Your mortal skin will not suffice

But flesh and steel might feel real nice

I wouldn't call this trick 'mimicry'

If I just improve what you've given me

In my life, I've dreamed of some lovely things

But this won't be one of 'em (I'm in ruin)

In my time, I've seen lots of ugly things

But I'm far from done with 'em (but I'm movin')

Monkey see, monkey do

Take somethin' old, make somethin' new

Those shiny toys look nice to use

While you're employed, five nights will do

When your eyes are broken, try some new ones

Bye to old friends, why not use them?

I knew they'd get recycled, my blueprints came from psychos

See the new reality that surrounds us

Seekin' out the key to life but it found us

My voice will take you 'round this carousel 'til it breaks you down

This Megaplex ain't mega clean, you'll never get to Gregory

When you're left for dead right next to me, we can reminisce reflectively

In my life, I've dreamed of some lovely things

But this won't be one of 'em (I'm in ruin)

In my time, I've seen lots of ugly things

But I'm far from done with 'em

In my life, I've dreamed of some lovely things

But this won't be one of 'em (I'm in ruin)

In my time, I've seen lots of ugly things

But I'm far from done with 'em (but I'm movin')
