There are things that I'm dying to tell you
About things that are killing me to say
I don't want to lose you
But we both know I'll push you away

Fauxtographic memory, 
a mind that's still developing
I turn my back on all I see cause 
everything feels make believe
You tried to stay, 
I made you leave and made the world give up on me
I can't accept reality cause 
everything feels make believe

I keep swallowing the hell 
so you don't stomach it
From what it's like to be around 
someone that lives like this
I keep losing sleep in beds still made 
from soaking sheets
And I'm still haunted by the ghosts 
of people still breathing
I already hate the words, 
they're not a thing we even share
Stop looking for a metaphor, it isn't there

Fauxtographic memory, 
a mind that's still developing
I turn my back on all I see cause 
everything feels make believe
You tried to stay, I made you leave 
and made the world give up on me
I can't accept reality cause 
everything feels make believe

You're wasting away
You'll have to learn to love within
You'll have to learn to live without
You're wasting away
You'll have to learn to love within
You'll have to learn to live without
You're wasting away

Fauxtographic memory, 
a mind that's still developing
I turn my back on all I see cause 
everything feels make believe
You tried to stay, 
I made you leave and made the world give up on me
I can't accept reality cause 
everything feels make believe
