You Did This

a biological cause to the screams
they move forever and wane
under the surface the software is bleak
let me restart it in shame
if the feeling remains

pretend everything's fine
no loss of an appetite I
still crave the taste of a dull life
I don't mind, I don't mind
we're dead, covered in flies
next stop is the abattoir line
the swine collecting on the inside
I don't mind, I don't mind

I never knew we were starving for attention
we just focused on the blame
Always knew we were harnessing perfection
that potentially breathes

we're told the death that was always described
gave meaning to our decay
instead of searching for more of the time
we're undercover in flame
leaving only the chains

remain frozen in time
Contained like a statue and I'm
antique like a primitive shrine but
I won't mind, I won't mind
maintain stable in stride
rewrote what we'd never survive
so clever, cruel to deny but
I won't mind, I won't mind

I never knew we were starving for attention
we just focused on the blame
always knew we were harvesting perfection
the potential leaves me

so designed
so refined
so designed
so benign

I understand that it's all a machine
don't think that we can forget
feels like i'm begging to god in a dream
but no one's listening in
you did this, you did this
