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