[Verse 1] Simulacrum, living in the vacuum, Doesn't matter if I'm in the crowd or in the back room. she has Perfect eyes and dimpled cheeks, Hips that make your knees go weak. I step through the door, but it's just like before, A mirror reflecting what I'm longing for. [Pre-Chorus – Abrupt, aggressive] STOP! THIS ISN'T REAL! DON'T TRY TO TELL ME HOW I FEEL! I'm a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy, Sit right back, it's about to get choppy! [Chorus – Explosive, layered vocals] SIMULACRUM! SAVE US! SIMULACRUM! CHANGE US! SIMULACRUM! WAKE US! [Verse 2 – Driving, increasingly frantic] You kept the pictures, I kept score, We don't know what we're fighting for. We say we're fine, we say we're fixed, We paint a smile across the split.

THIS ISN'T REAL! DON'T TRY TO TELL ME HOW I FEEL! I'm a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy, Sit right back, it's about to get choppy! [Chorus – Full-force, distorted harmonies] SIMULACRUM! SAVE US! SIMULACRUM! CHANGE US! SIMULACRUM! WAKE US! [Bridge – Stripped down, building into a roar] I'd rather make a brand-new mess, Than fake another happiness. We can't undo the things we've done, But we can go back where we're from [Outro – Sparse instruments, raw vocals] Stop. This is real. Nobody tells us how to feel. No going back to what we knew, No perfect me, no perfect you. [Whispered] Simulacrum...
