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