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

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

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