The void stares back (The Elsewhere)
[Verse 1] Believed in magic since I was eight Never gave up, just waited for fate Every spark I fought just to keep alive Left me stranded on the other side [Pre-chorus] They whisper that I don't belong Say that this won't last Am I all wrong? [Chorus] Burn bright, burn out (Hope you like the dark) Eyes on the corner, make sure (It doesn't move far) Sure you know what's real (Sure what's true) Until the void starts staring back at you [Verse 2] Tried to adapt, tried to grow up right Proper office job, thought I'd die in that tie Then suddenly one day something reached The veil I'd felt was finally breached [Pre-chorus] I have been waiting for so long And the moment's come Now who's all wrong? (Take it away, Sugar!) [Final chorus] Burn bright, burn out Hope you like the dark Eyes on the corner, make sure It doesn't move far Sure you know what's real Sure what's true Now the void is staring back at you :) [Male vocals, spoken, yelled, scared] "W-what is that thing?!?! Get it away from me! It's— it's inside of me!!!" [Cheerful synthetic vocalization] [Vocalist, Spoken, relaxed] Relax, I'm sure you're just... [Pause] ... (Imagining things.)
