[Verse 1]
With miles to drive
On a cerebral highway
Where it leads our hearts to
That empire where all unfolds
We drag our knees
Through these badlands
And we hurt ourselves
Just to feel anything

[Refrain]
In the mecca of us
We all glow forever

[Verse 2]
With cobwebbed eyes
An affair with the puppets
You've seemed to have forgotten
And now you sleep with the rats all alone
I held you so warm
Like a brother
A part of you in a part of me so spoiled
I cut you off like a cancer

[Refrain]
In the mecca of us
We all glow forever

[Verse 3]
It's simple
How you complete my core
So potent in your eyes
To move mountains
To burn skies
We've broken
Our arms and throats
For our portraits
Demons or not
It doesn't make a difference to me
I'm so tired of screaming

[Refrain]
In the mecca of us
We all glow forever

Sonny Moore found club and mainstream stardom beginning in 2008, when he swapped his gig as post-hardcore frontman for From First to Last and created the dancefloor-oriented project, Skrillex. He initially used the name for live DJ sets, but in 2009 the project moved into the studio with Skrillex remixing the likes of Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg.

Now he strives in mainstream success, playing monstrous live sets, releasing songs that rack up millions of listens and producing for the likes of Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla Sign, and Ellie Goulding, and formed the duo Jack U with equally successful producer Thomas “Diplo” Pentz.
