Televised Mind - Oxygen Thieves Lyrics

Do what they tell you it'll be alright
I can't help myself I'm up all night
Think that I ignore you just to wind you up
Try to slip away from it but no such luck
I turn off my phone but you always find me
You bore me to pieces inherently blind
Fancy my chances
Kindness for weakness
Lock me inside
Distance between us
Showed a little faith and things got better
Every last detail followed to the letter
Saw my ex-girlfriend
Asked if I regret her
No hard feelings
Best I just forget ya
People want a piece of you
For what it does for them
Not because of who you are
It just suits them now and then
Velociraptor chased me in a different time
My heart beats faster when you come online
Who needs fossil fuel when you can walk on water?
See you at the gates of hell I'll be there before ya
Sometimes ya gotta venture where the sun don't shine
Find meaning in the darkness
Put the demons all behind
In someone else's pocket
Content with second best?
Call it as I see it
Got it all off of my chest
People want a piece of you
For what it does for them
Not because of who you are
It just suits them now and then
Sweeping statements
Unsettled payments
Projecting an image
Of a life inspired
No more nonsense
I'm clear of conscience
Wasted youth
Talent expired
Cashed my cheques in
Left you with a smile
Round the world journey
A little solace for a while
One last number
Come back out in style
Saw you going under
Another digit on the dial
People want a piece of you
For what it does for them
Not because of who you are
It just suits them now and then
Oxygen thieves
Misguided nation built on greed
Oxygen thieves
Wrong time or place and you will bleed
Oxygen thieves
Human race down on its knees
Oxygen thieves
Are you the cure or the disease?
