[Verse]
Am C
Thought cycle gusty a mind filled with hot air.
F C Em
Must I care for nothing more than myself? Do I dare
Am C
admit the fraught thoughts cavorting? Resorting in inner-directed mourning
F C Em
for the part of me that was selfless but left without a warning.
Am C
Well that’s what I said, but maybe it’s the fact that I detest
F C Em
this obsession with myself that leaves a mess inside my head.
Am C
Oh shit I’m doing it again, repelling any potential friend,
F C Em
revealing my innate ability to never fully comprehend
Am C
anything bigger than myself, but in the end I still pretend.
F C Em
Condescending anyone polite enough to choose to misspend their time
Am C
watching me as I achieve my secret social mission.
F C Em
To drain people with my boring stories and opinions.
Am C
To see the bigger picture takes intelligence and wisdom,
F C Em
but I won’t see nothing more with just myself in my vision.
[Chorus]

[Verse]
Am C F C Em
x2
Am C F
I go outside a blitz of faces unwilling to confess to any empathy,
C Em
endlessly incessantly declining any pleasantries.
Am C F
Heavily breathing, socially teething. I’m open like a vivisection.
C Em
Intense tendency to dwell, seething over missed connections.
Am C
Infected by my perceptions that I’m a non-entity,
F C Em
project my insecurity until intensity is weaponry.
Am C
Grieving a heavenly fiction I perceived whilst I was dreaming.
F C Em
Awake! Freezing, wheezing, fundamentally I’m still believing that,
Am C
this is an elegy for concepts I conceived in deep sleep,
F C Em
as I helplessly watch them fade whilst I awake, I try and keep them alive.
Am C
Incomparable with life but eventually they die
F C Em
and the brain I used to cultivate reveals my lovers were a lie. |
[Chorus]

[Verse]

x2
Am C
When inside my mind I find a way to replicate reality.
F C Em
Through lucid dreaming I decimate the limitations of actuality.
Am C F
Capacity practically eternal, mortality external,
C Em
no god but I investigate the blasphemous worship of the nocturnal.
Am C F
Internally existing without morality creates profanities without the travesty
C Em Am
and compared to the apathy of realness I reveal my own insanity.
C F
The majesty of fantasy protects me from tragedy.
C Em
Normality's effects reject the agony of rationality.
Am C
Which thankfully penetrates with no avail to my unreality,
F C Em
an elaborately designed privately owned spiral galaxy.
Am C
Financially I’m failing, naturally decaying.
F C Em
Soon I’ll have no safe place to sleep if these bills still need paying,
Am C
displaying cravings with open eyes for something mind expanding
F C Em
for when I drift away I see the totality of understanding.
