Intro
Bm D G D F#m
x2
[Verse]
Bm D
Thought cycle gusty a mind filled with hot air.
G D F#m
Must I care for nothing more than myself? Do I dare
Bm D
admit the fraught thoughts cavorting? Resorting in inner-directed mourning
G D F#m
for the part of me that was selfless but left without a warning.
Bm D
Well that’s what I said, but maybe it’s the fact that I detest
G D F#m
this obsession with myself that leaves a mess inside my head.
Bm D
Oh shit I’m doing it again, repelling any potential friend,
G D F#m
revealing my innate ability to never fully comprehend
Bm D
anything bigger than myself, but in the end I still pretend.
G D F#m
Condescending anyone polite enough to choose to misspend their time
Bm D
watching me as I achieve my secret social mission.
G D F#m
To drain people with my boring stories and opinions.
Bm D
To see the bigger picture takes intelligence and wisdom,
G D F#m
but I won’t see nothing more with just myself in my vision.
[Chorus]
Bm D G D
[Verse]
Bm D G D F#m
x2
Bm D G
I go outside a blitz of faces unwilling to confess to any empathy,
D F#m
endlessly incessantly declining any pleasantries.
Bm D G
Heavily breathing, socially teething. I’m open like a vivisection.
D F#m
Intense tendency to dwell, seething over missed connections.
Bm D
Infected by my perceptions that I’m a non-entity,
G D F#m
project my insecurity until intensity is weaponry.
Bm D
Grieving a heavenly fiction I perceived whilst I was dreaming.
G D F#m
Awake! Freezing, wheezing, fundamentally I’m still believing that,
Bm D
this is an elegy for concepts I conceived in deep sleep,
G D F#m
as I helplessly watch them fade whilst I awake, I try and keep them alive.
Bm D
Incomparable with life but eventually they die
G D F#m
and the brain I used to cultivate reveals my lovers were a lie. |
[Chorus]
Bm D G D
[Verse]
Bm D G D F#m
x2
Bm D
When inside my mind I find a way to replicate reality.
G D F#m
Through lucid dreaming I decimate the limitations of actuality.
Bm D G
Capacity practically eternal, mortality external,
D F#m
no god but I investigate the blasphemous worship of the nocturnal.
Bm D G
Internally existing without morality creates profanities without the travesty
D F#m Bm
and compared to the apathy of realness I reveal my own insanity.
D G
The majesty of fantasy protects me from tragedy.
D F#m
Normality's effects reject the agony of rationality.
Bm D
Which thankfully penetrates with no avail to my unreality,
G D F#m
an elaborately designed privately owned spiral galaxy.
Bm D
Financially I’m failing, naturally decaying.
G D F#m
Soon I’ll have no safe place to sleep if these bills still need paying,
Bm D
displaying cravings with open eyes for something mind expanding
G D F#m
for when I drift away I see the totality of understanding.
[Outro]
