This is a track about reaching the point of no return on which you either reinvent yourself or call it an exit strategy. OR both.
lyrics
out of time, out of place,
out of love, out of hate
monster tears I never cried
eating me up inside
feel this pain that I'm choosing
for a war that I'm losing
I emerge as sourest loser
riding on a painkiller
out of time, out of place,
out of love, out of hate
monster tears I never cried
eating me up inside
I declare, first of all :
I reign as the first to fall
burning ice and breathing cinder
reloading the painkiller
under this killing sun
out of time, out of place,
out of love, out of hate
under this killing sun
monster tears I never cried
eating me up inside
under this killing sun
a new world out-maneuvered
never to be seen
counterfeit intelligent intelligence
remembers in me it's been
hitin on a tall goal
from another far more
irrelevant verge
when suffering defines me
I must substract all the merge
riding on a on a painkiller
when the dust settles,
and I was the first to fall,
I'm stealing all the peeking
from the keyhole on the door
I see my best inner me
who fights me as the very worst enemy
it doesn't hide no more
it declares war on bore
making me the weapon
and the misery the bullet
and the casualty the pain
and I guess I don't care anymore
a new world out-maneuvered
never to be seen
counterfeit intelligent intelligence
remembers in me it's been
smothering a real dream
in another real deal
experiment world
blazing every trails
that laugh out loud
with the absurd
compromising the wicked hand
by an intent so below
smashing it, stabbing it,
hacking it, having it
this motherfucker doesn't feel no more
my favorite thing to lose
singing the anti-blues
your out of all minds
byes byes
I become the single clean spot on the dirty floor
I become the urge to embrace beauty in its whole
I become the escape from a nightmare made of gore
I become everything and I guess I don't care anymore
painkiller, monster tear,
have fun on your own
for as we know, of each other
we'll have a lot, or none
then the one who doesn't fall
doesn't stand up at all
