Artisan - Split Lyrics

I've gone and made a mess of myself
Come back to me in 10 years
Maybe by then I'll have it figured out
If the answer is this
Then the question is that
So what's the f*cking point again
(Oh shut the f*ck up)

Why won't these voices leave me alone
I can tell they want a place of their own
I've been sharing my mind
Quietly hoping inside
That one day we might find
What we crave

I've been searching all my life for what does not exist
I've been chasing a dream, that I can barely resist
Is this why when I hear them calling out my name
I follow them blindly all through hell and then back again

I'm beside myself
(It's pointless)
No reason to be found
(Of course)
But what did I expect
(You tell me)
That things might work out
(Don't hold your breath)

(So why the hell do you fight)
Why else
(So why do you fight)
I told you
(Tell me why you fight)
F*ck you
You can't lie to us
'Cause we are you

Who said I need a reason
Take a look at yourself we were born to die
Who said you even had to be
Take a look at yourself we were born to die

Ergh

I've been searching all my life for what does not exist
I've been chasing a dream that I can barely resist
I can make mistakes but just can't make amends
I'm a slave to this life until the end

My time is short
My patience thin
All faith is lost
The verdict's in
'Cause All our gods are dead
And in their place we let the demons in

There's no up, no down
No good, no bad, no chance to escape
From this empty shell that only ever tries to replicate

Who we were and what we thought
Everything we used to feel
We're clutching at these straws
As we fight with what we hope is real

They fooled us once, they fooled us twice
They stole from us almost half our lives
We can't accept that they are us and now we're dead inside

Quick to flip off the switch, I believe this is it
The end to of everything I ever came to know
Stripping shreds from my skin
Just to find what's within was never anything but more empty hope

They fooled us once
They fooled us twice
They stole from us almost half our lives
We still can't accept that they are us And now we're dead inside

We're dead inside

I've been searching all my life for what does not exist
I've been chasing a dream that I can barely resist

I've made mistakes,
I'm a slave to this life until the end
I've been searching all my life for what does not exist
I've been chasing a dream, that I can barely resist
I can make mistakes, but just can't make amends
I'm a slave to this life until the end
