Glitches Every Time I Die

So long to young love, I've anchored my heart
Farewell to small joys, I've burned down the bar
I'm changing my name so I don't do no harm
Some say it's vanity, some say it's charm

No levels
Still the same old devils

Frightened of fear, a servant of time
Kidnapped the queen, I have angered the hive

Snuffed out the star with celestial winds
Ended a cycle that started again
I stopped going out, they kept coming in
Was I saving my soul or saving my skin?

No levels
Still the same old devils

Can't hold it close, can't let it go
Prisons and basements in slick model homes

I'm just a day-tripper on sacred terrain
My transformation went from mangled to tame
I don't feel different but I don't feel the same
I'm afloat with an ear to the ground
I built a fortress with some books and a phrase
I felt some heat, so I came out of the haze
I saw the end and I was truly afraid
I have begged but I'm still not allowed
