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