spinning, in my mind
just like the earth the rotation never stops
I feel consumed, inside my head
and forever haunted by the things that it said
echoes, in my heart
it's dancing ruthless, got no rhythm or rhyme
there are no breaks, in this old train
chugging endlessly like time on a string

love, is like the candy-coated complicated peace,
that learns to hide behind your eyes

keep shouting at the darkness cause you're the only reason it stays
oh yeah it's only gonna hurt us the more we fear and welcome it
inside home that we break
and it keeps me awake
i'll let it end for our sake
so snuff it out you’ve got to come out on top

my thoughts, are hidebound
i heard a scream but nobody was around
just my own breath, through frozen air
so troubled yet you lack incentive to care
your drug, your help
you've got the same god as everybody else
still i complain, about the ordinary
but hell it's all i've ever wanted to be

life, is like the perfect dream of everybody else
but i just keep on waking up

i can’t keep falling backwards through everything they told me before
on par with all the angels, still no mercy with the endless game
and make it a chore
to fight myself evermore
the present leaving me worn
cause the future is a slave to the past

life can’t be taught
it can only exist
through the lens of your perception
that hides your soul behind your sins
(you can’t keep wasting your time)
(get your head back in line)
(too many ways you could die)
(but only one kind of life, right?)
succumb to the pills
that keep you in reality
under the sheet of my own
domineering disease

if i could only exist
with some control of this drifting
because i’m only my self-awareness
dreaming to forever be free
