[Intro]

Am  C  F  C Em x2

[Verse]

Am                      C
Thought cycle gusty, a mind filled with hot air.
       F                             C          Em
Must I care for nothing more than myself? Do I dare
          Am                                       C
admit the fraught thoughts cavorting? Resorting in inner-directed mourning
        F                                C              Em
for the part of me that was selfless but left without a warning.
     Am                                      C
Well that’s what I said, but maybe it’s the fact that I detest
     F                                   C              Em
this obsession with myself that leaves a mess inside my head.
             Am                         C
Oh shit, I’m doing it again, repelling any potential friend,
          F                    C                 Em
revealing my innate ability to never fully comprehend
Am                                      C
anything bigger than myself, but in the end I still pretend
       F                                            C          Em
Condescending anyone polite enough to choose to misspend their time
Am                           C
watching me as I achieve my secret social mission.
    F                           C               Em
To drain people with my boring stories and opinions.
   Am                            C
To see the bigger picture takes intelligence and wisdom,
      F                              C          Em
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]

         Am                         C                         F
I go outside, a blitz of faces unwilling to confess to any empathy,
                    C            Em
endlessly incessantly declining any pleasantries.
Am                          C                              F
Heavily breathing, socially teething. I’m open like a vivisection.
                       C            Em
Intense tendency to dwell, seething over missed connections.
Am                C
Infected by my perceptions that I’m a non-entity,
F                           C            Em
project my insecurity until intensity is weaponry.
Am                                C
Grieving a heavenly fiction I perceived whilst I was dreaming.
  F                          C                      Em
Awake! Freezing, wheezing, fundamentally I’m still believing that,
Am                              C
this is an elegy for concepts I conceived in deep sleep,
      F                                   C               Em
an’ I helplessly watch them fade while I awake, I try and keep them alive.
Am                C
Incomparable with life but eventually they die
        F                           C               Em
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]

Am                            C
When inside my mind I find a way to replicate reality.
F                                  C                 Em
Through lucid dreaming I decimate the limitations of actuality.
Am                     C                  F
Capacity practically eternal, mortality external,
                         C                          Em
no god but I investigate the blasphemous worship of the nocturnal.
Am                               C                                 F
Internally existing without morality creates profanity without the travesty
                              C           Em              Am
and compared to the apathy of realness I reveal my own insanity.
                C                        F
The majesty of fantasy protects me from tragedy.
                       C                  Em
Normality’s effects reject the agony of rationality
     Am                            C
but thankfully penetrates with no avail to my unreality,
        F                          C              Em
an elaborately designed privately owned spiral galaxy.
Am                        C
Financially I’m failing, naturally decaying.
F                                 C                    Em
Soon I’ll have no place safe to sleep if these bills still need paying,
Am                             C
displaying cravings with open eyes for something mind expanding
    F                             C               Em
for when I drift away I see the totality of understanding.
