CYTOKINE LYRICS

1. Camwhore

Chiseled from porcelain, a decoration for all to see.
Setting standards ever higher, an influence to all.
An influence to all, an influence to all.

Weeping diamonds, you've sold your body not your soul.
Reaping diamonds, you've sold your body not your soul.

Aesthetically pleasing your flesh radiates beauty.
Aesthetically pleasing your flesh radiates beauty.
Your flesh radiates beauty.

So you want to be a model?
Let's see who wants to follow.
A desperate flower, a tragic rose.

I've seen less daddy issues at a goddamn orphanage.
Is this how you pay your rent?
You spread your legs and sell that smut.
Just another E-girl fuck

Just another E-girl fuck
Where do you get off, think you're above all the rest.
Just another E-girl fuck
Where do you get off, think you're above all the rest.

She doesn't want.
She doesn't want
Want to be saved.

So stop wasting your time
So stop wasting your time

And when I close my eyes at night I still see you
You're trapped behind the glass
Can I save you?

I still see you in my dreams too

2. Man On Fire

So this is how you think it is
Like the pictures you see on the screen
Nothing is what it seems
And life isn't very fair

You are not the man on fire
You are not even the shit that he is stepping in

You're stuck to bit fucking parts

You

You've got a lot of nerve pretending to be something you are not
Focus on the similarities between your ego and the sun
The engines are turning
They cannot be stopped
They cannot be stopped

You are just another character in the big production
You are the least common denominator

Spinning in circles
It won't get you anywhere
Like the scene
Watch you

So take a look around kid cause you've got a lot of shit coming
You think you deserve so much more
Well here's to you kid
Well here's to you kid

To put things in perspective you think you're above all the rest
There is no level playing field there never was
You can join the family but there's no leaving alive
We warned you but all there are is lies

What a crock of shit you've been fed
So do yourself a favor
Pull your head out of your ass
Pull your head
Out of your ass

It doesn't even matter
How hard you fucking try
No one seems to give a fuck
You are not the man on fire

You are not the man on fire
You are not even the shit that he is stepping in
So show me what you have got

No one ever said that life was fucking fair
Now show me what you've got

3. Rose Colored Lenses

Coming back into my life
Where've you been all this time

Searching for the other half of me

It's getting under my skin
I've always wanted to be so alone
But to be so alone
Be alone

Inching my way to social starvation
An apathetic outlook on the rest of the world

Pushing everything aside
Connections mean nothing to me now

Nothing to me

Finding faith in the all the wrong places
These vices are what's making me sick
I tried to cut you out
Out of my life

Through rose-colored lenses these memories play

Colors fading to grey
I start to realize things are not what they once were
These feelings are not how I remembered a churning in my stomach

Held tight, a crushing grip caresses my throat
Caresses my throat

Colors fading to grey
I start to realize things are not what they once were
These feelings are not how I remembered a churning in my stomach

Why can't you just leave me alone
All I ever wanted was my space
Suffocating embrace
The double edged sword is love

The double edged sword is love

All I ever wanted was my space

Through rose-colored lenses these memories are fading
A churning in my stomach
Inhale

4. The View From Halfway Down

You will find me contemplating
What it would be like to see

To see the world from a different view
These voices inside me speak
What comes after
What is next for me

I don't have those answers yet
I am too scared to seek them out

Fear is the weakness
But it's not mine

The attraction to the unknown
Is what's killing me
Is what's killing me

Inside these voices speak
What's next, what's after for me
If I end it all tonight
Will I wake up in the morning

I'm too scared to find out
But I will find the strength
To carry on

So you made it up to the top
I want to see you jump

This monotony is killing me
I want to see the view from
Halfway down
Will you show me
What's next for me

This is the view from halfway down

I know there is nothing next
This black is all there is ever left

What comes after
What is next for me

I can't figure it out
Please help me
Where am I headed where the fuck am I going
Will I wake up from this dream
Or is this an endless nightmare?

5. The Cytokine Deception

I have this strange feeling inside
Like something gnawing away at me
A cancer growing
Or maybe a false alarm

Body aching senses reeling
I just can't seem to figure it out

Please make it go away
I can feel it from the inside out

My trust in you has ended this is where you wanted it to go
How could I be so blind to this you fucked me in the end I
I guess that I was wrong

And this is the Cytokine Deception

What is the meaning of this
You couldn't leave well enough alone
Grasping at straws for excuse
You shouldn't have come home

I was everything to you
But you threw it all away, threw it all away, threw it all away
Threw it all away
Threw it all

And that is the Cytokine Deception
And that is the Cytokine Deception

And that is, and that is the Cytokine Deception

And that is the Cytokine Deception

I trusted you, but I guess I was wrong
