lyrics

i hear your breath upon the wireless stream, a lost sheep inside my android's dream
obscured behind lines that oft mislead, i play the game that i cannot concede
hunting you behind a friendly guise- my voice in font, my image pixelized
in this place where no one hears you shout i'll turn your very life inside out

your false emotion burns inside for the stranger in whom you confide
all you think is real
you're playing right into my hand following my wanton demand
in control behind the wheel- close your mind and show me how you feel

the game goes on you hang upon my words- hypnotized by my digital curse
in this place the pain begins to soothe; too far gone to ever know the truth
ensnared you grow into my white lies, months shall pass until you realize
you're but a pawn in a perverse game of chance; manipulated into a romance

your false emotion burns inside for the stranger in whom you confide
all you think is real
you're playing right into my hand following my wanton demand
in control behind the wheel- close your mind and show me how you feel

night after night i find new prey to hang onto all that i say
too much suffering for which i can't atone; i'm condemned to spend my many days alone...
