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