Perfect place

[Intro]
If youth is wasted by the young
On frivolous dreams, sweet and high
Then why, when your bell has been rung
To the emergency exits do you fly?
​[Verse 1]
Why do you try to escape and flee
From your hollow, polished reality?
You repaint every old regret
Into dull wins you haven’t met yet
I watch you circling, round and round
Like flies in a glass, soon to be bound
I count your "if onlys" one by one
On a stranger’s hand, until you're done (hmm)
​[Chorus]
Didn't you dream of the perfect place
To descend like a plague with a hidden face?
Settle on this spiral, my little toys
I spin the heads of the feverish boys
A gluttonous ghost, never satisfied
I drink your lukewarm lives, where you hide
Didn't you dream of the perfect place
To fall with such grace, victims of lace? (oh yes)
​[Verse 2]
A ghost from a dimension you can’t see
Lost in a sea of polite degeneracy
Who have to think just to feel the flame
And invent pretty hells to hide their shame
I’m the spectator, the front-row guest
Flipping through sins at my own behest
I see your regrets dancing slow and long
On the tip of my tongue, where they belong
​[Bridge]
You drink so you can just forget
I sip to remember every regret
Each confession spat at the bar
Makes my fangs shine like a star
Come closer, speak, lie some more (shh)
I grow fat on the masks you wore
​[Chorus]
Didn't you dream of the perfect place
To descend like a plague with a hidden face?
Settle on this spiral, my little toys
I spin the heads of the feverish boys
A gluttonous ghost, never satisfied
Licking the souls where your secrets hide
Didn't you dream of the perfect place
To fall so low… with questionable grace
