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

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

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