[Verse]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Cm Eb Ab
But when inside my mind I find a way to replicate reality
Eb G
Through lucid dreaming I decimate limitations of actuality.
Cm Eb Ab
Capacity’s practically eternal, mortality’s external
Eb G
No God, but I investigate the blasphemous worship of the nocturnal
Cm Eb Ab
Internally existing without morality creates profanities without the travesty,
Eb G Cm
and compared to the apathy of realness, I reveal my own insanity
Eb Ab
The majesty of fantasy protects me from tragedy
Eb G
Normalities affect trajectory your agony of rationality,
Cm Eb
which thankfully penetrates with no avail to my unreality
Ab Eb G
It’s an elaborately designed, privately owned spiral galaxy
Cm Eb
Financially I’m failing, naturally I’m decaying
Ab Eb G
Soon I’ll have no safe space to sleep if these bills still need paying
Cm Eb
Displaying cravings with open eyes for something mind-expanding
Ab Eb G
For when I drift away I see the totality of understanding
