## Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Oliver Sykes]**

Another day, another post-traumatic order

Brainwashed and feeling fine

I bit off more than I could chew when I looked closer

So I stabbed a fork in my eye

**[Pre-Chorus: Oliver Sykes]**

Think I'm losing my fucking mind

Don't know where to turn, now I'm blind

Destroy yourself

It feels so good to fade away

Why do you wanna hurt yourself?

Die for something else?

Don't let your conscience

Get in the way

**[Chorus: Oliver Sykes]**

Obey, we hope you have a lovely day

Obey, you don't want us to come out and play away now, now

There's nothing to see here, it's under control

We're only gambling with your soul

Obey, whatever you do

Just don't wake up and smell the corruption

**[Post-Chorus: Oliver Sykes & YUNGBLUD]**

Do you feel that? Yeah

**[Verse 2: YUNGBLUD]**

Another day, another systematic nightmare

Commemorate a wonderful life

Bite me first, I'll bite you back, melodramatic laughter

I stabbed a knife in my eye

**[Pre-Chorus: YUNGBLUD]**

Think I'm out my fucking mind

Brainwashed and I'm feeling fine

Destroy yourself

It feels too good to fade away

Why do I wanna hurt myself?

Should I die for something else?

I let my conscience

Get in the way

**[Chorus: Oliver Sykes & YUNGBLUD]**

Obey, we hope you have a lovely day

Obey, you don't want us to come out and play away now, now

There's nothing to see here, it's under control

We're only gambling with your soul

Obey, whatever you do

Just don't wake up and smell the corruption

**[Breakdown: Oliver Sykes]**

When your freedom is lethal

Tell me how you're gonna hurt yourself

You call yourselves peaceful

You monsters are people

You fucking monsters are people

**[Bridge: Oliver Sykes & YUNGBLUD]**

Obey, we're gonna show you how to behave

Obey, it's nicer when you can't see the chains

**[Chorus: Oliver Sykes & YUNGBLUD]**

Obey, we hope you have a lovely day

Obey, you don't want us to come out and play away now, now

There's nothing to see here, it's under control (It's under control)

We're only gambling with your soul (With your soul)

Obey, whatever you do

Just don't wake up and smell the corruption

**[Outro: Oliver Sykes & YUNGBLUD]**

Smell the corruption

Smell the corruption
