In shadows deep where silence screams
I find myself lost in the seams
A world of masks of fleeting dreams
Unveiling truths or so it seems
Beneath the surface chaos thrives
In every pulse a truth derives
We crave the pain the blood the cries
Vicarious through others' lives
I want to see the world collapse
Feel the weight of every lapse
Empathy our cruel disguise
Living through vicarious eyes
In the mirror's gaze I see a ghost
A fractured self I fear the most
Reflections lie distort the host
Yet we cling to shadows close
Beneath the surface chaos thrives
In every pulse a truth derives
We crave the pain the blood the cries
Vicarious through others' lives
I want to see the world collapse
Feel the weight of every lapse
Empathy our cruel disguise
Living through vicarious eyes
In the void we find our place
A hollowed heart an empty space
Feeding on the human race
In their despair we find our grace
I want to see the world collapse
Feel the weight of every lapse
Empathy our cruel disguise
Living through vicarious eyes
So we watch the world decay
In the dark we find our way
Through their lives we choose to stray
Vicarious until the day
