Coping Mechanism

You say I'm angry, I can't deny that it's burning at my nerves
But that's only the symptom
You say I'm searching, I tell you
Now that the things which I have found
Could crush your fragile state of mind
I call it folklore

Wander the moonscape, let your spirit fly
Disguised as strength and yet I never question why
Wander the moonscape, a dreamworld farewell
Your id desires freedom, subterfuge by self
Born in my mind a seed of misanthropic fear
I can't identify as one of you, I know
It's not a phase and it's not a stretch
I'd love rid myself this useless cage of flesh

We call it folklore
Wander the hallways, let your spirit fly
Disguised as innocence, you never question why
Wander the hallways, a conscious farewell
Your id desires freedom, subterfuge by self

Wander the hospital, let your spirit die
I am a lonely vessel, a candle in the night
Wander the hospital, subconscious farewell
Mem'ries and time fade, how long can broken ships sail?
Lies and lies from generations die
Yet I'm the only one who seems to question why we're here
