I Don't Know What I Am

I'm inside a dream
Think I came for a place to hide, but I was mistaken
Taken a turn down memory lane to awaken a stranger
Don’t know what it means
Could it be that I’ve lost my mind, or found it?
Good gracious! That face in the mirror
How does she defy nature?

The last thing I remember was shutting down
I didn’t believe the power of second nature
Until she poured out from the glass
Like fine wine dripping through the cracks – oh this contagion I found
(Give up the system, begin full erasure)
How could I have known that it was all no favour?
How does she shake me like that?
How does she shake me like that?

I come alive with a ghost on my back
Clutching me like the best thing that I’ve ever had
‘till my eyes roll back and I'm there forever

One floor, two walls, three feet, four hands
Over my face to find eight eyes!
That’s five signs that I'm feeling fine
(Locked out, lookin’ at my body from the outside)

Was I ever really here when I’ve been looking in from the outside?!

I'm inside a web
Tangled and tied, dangling by a thread
Well I guess I'm what’s left
I'm an echo in a room with a rental on my head!
You don’t think I tried?
You never heard the way she said

I come alive with a ghost on my back
I know she’s out to get me
But I'm running out of options and I need to be something
Clutching me like the best thing that I ever had
The hold will surely end me
But God it feels good - so good to feel free
