Intro

x2
[Verse]
F#m A
Thought cycle gusty a mind filled with hot air.
D A C#m
Must I care for nothing more than myself? Do I dare
F#m A
admit the fraught thoughts cavorting? Resorting in inner-directed mourning
D A C#m
for the part of me that was selfless but left without a warning.
F#m A
Well that’s what I said, but maybe it’s the fact that I detest
D A C#m
this obsession with myself that leaves a mess inside my head.
F#m A
Oh shit I’m doing it again, repelling any potential friend,
D A C#m
revealing my innate ability to never fully comprehend
F#m A
anything bigger than myself, but in the end I still pretend.
D A C#m
Condescending anyone polite enough to choose to misspend their time
F#m A
watching me as I achieve my secret social mission.
D A C#m
To drain people with my boring stories and opinions.
F#m A
To see the bigger picture takes intelligence and wisdom,
D A C#m
but I won’t see nothing more with just myself in my vision.
[Chorus]

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

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