Senselessness

When he looks he thinks he sees
Flawless skin although it bleeds
He listens and he wants to hear
The same thing that he sees
When he breathes he thinks he smells
Their clock burning but it's just his yearning lungs
He thinks he knows how it should feel
How it should feel
How it should feel

Used to look up at the stars
They seemed so close but now they seem so far
Used to see that each one shined
Now he knows they're there
But can't see where they are
Every bird locked in that cage
Is every bird he's not allowed to free
The door won't open here
'cause senselessness is holding back the key

And it won't give it back to me, no
And I can't hear and I can't see, no
Anything outside of my body
Anything, anything outside

Now he doesn't know what to do
Guess he won't do anything
Don't understand this doubting blue
Maybe he just lives in green
The more his senses keep him here
The more he pushes away infinity
Reaches out and holds it there
So senselessness won't get the best of me

And it won't ever leave me be, no
And I can't hear and I can't see, no
Anything outside of my body
Anything, anything outside
