"Simulation" lyrics - AVENGED SEVENFOLD

It seems I should have walked away
Reverse the wager I've no means to pay
Toto has pulled back the green tonight, in sight
And blue pills coat with such disdain
I wore the shades for so long
That I've forgotten how to see
The curtain rises but who dares to pull the strings

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I know this may be hard for you to believe and all
But you only exist because we allow it

[Chorus:]
I've questioned all the voices in my head
Are they mine or have I been misled?
Total understanding doesn't seem to mean a thing
When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine
Can't you hear me scream?

By the way of cosmic rays
A subtle breakdown jarred the code display
A simulation as I can tell, our cell
Playing out a hopeless scene
We stand to lose all our charm
And faith just seems to wane
A billion years can seem a stunningly short time

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
You've been beaten down time and time again
But still you find yourself at the center of it all

[Chorus:]
I've questioned all the voices in my head
Are they mine or have I been misled?
Total understanding doesn't seem to mean a thing
When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine
Can't you hear me scream?

[Bridge:]
You hear me, you had one thing to do, one thing
And you fucked it up, piece of shit
Nurse, patient six-six-six-one-five-eight needs to be sedated
We need 500cc of Blue Comfort
Oh hello there dearie, I've been expecting you

Posturing the way I feel
Is truth only what we believe is real?
Marvel the sketches that paint the night, starlight
And take a breath before it's all erased away
