lyrics

You raise a mystery to me
No one’s a picture to see
the way your segregating

You fight with such a disease
You try to put me at ease
your like an echo call

And like these words that you say
the ones i heard yesterday
are just the lies of tomorrow
This glass house is breaking now
and now i’m wondering how
If I’ve opened this door cuz lately..

You tell me places like I’m already there
Ive got this feeling like a mind without a body
you make it real life in so many ways
You make it seem like I just up and went and lost my mind

your method’s something to see
alternate realities
are lived out in this prison
You fake a smile we can see
inflicting real misery
upon the weak like a fall

You make the words that we say
bounce off the walls that you make
in every conversation
A glance of phantom escape
another game that you play
A sycophantic slumber

You tell me places like I’m already there
Ive got this feeling like a mind without a body
maybe its real life just as you say
So I’ve started thinking I just up and went and lost my mind

your hooks are deep into me me
You stalk to sink in your teeth
I feel my blood is draining
this kind of madness, you see
you say its goodness for me
and yet your voice grows colder

My head is deep in the clouds
my sense of self bottoms out
As I give in to laudanum
my mind becomes history
a psycho-autopsy

you give to me pre-mortem, save me
Now I see places like I’m already there
Ive got this feeling like a mind has found a body
you said its real life and I wasn’t fair
So please forgive me for the moment that i lost my mind
