lyrics

There's a pulse inside my veins from the heart beating in my chest
Faulty wiring inside my head that needs to be reset
At night I dream, my dreams are strange, bright, fantastic and complex
When I wake my dreams are ashes I exhale with every breath
This may seem downright depressing but the lesson isn't this
No lesson is expressed except that there's no lie made to impress
So I'm laid or get a check, get on stage or get some press
It's interesting how all our wants and fears connect within a mesh
Obsessive and possessed with all the things that I've been hunting
All the dreams I never lived I guess I didn't learn from Lucy
Live a life of no regrets by the time I think that I've progressed
I seem to hit a fence evolution is a mess when we easily regress
That's how I realized life's not a path that we must trek
But a dance that we're all dancing where we improvise the steps

There's a bigger me in the field outside okay?
One I can't see when I don't feel okay
Life's coming at me with the force of a tidal wave
Right now, bite down, doesn't matter the time of day

There's a pattern in my head that tries to make me feel downtrodden
Plus no news is good news and the news anchors just won't stop talking
I try to know what's going on and so I just keep watching
The signal has been failing the noise shows no sign of stopping
Sense is lost inside the chattering, people running out of batteries
Wondering how bad it is, blaming political candidates
The system is corrupt as fuck, but it's us who comprise society
Watch as Humpty teeters on live TV
House of cards in a gale force wind watch 'em scatter
Card tower empire watch as Humpty Dumpty shatters
Termites just might just bite this timber to tatters
Lights blind these eyes these highs aren't quite as advertised
Adverse side effects, as long as I got texts
My tech IV drip, I'll be set wires my tourniquet
Now turn me inside out, shut me inside the internet
The pixels lit, now picture this

House of cards in a gale force wind watch 'em scatter
Card tower empire watch as Humpty Dumpty shatters
Termites just might just bite this timber to tatters
Lights blind these eyes these highs aren't quite as advertised

There's a bigger me in the field outside okay?
One I can't see when I don't feel okay
Coming at me with the force of a tidal wave
Right now, bite down, doesn't matter the time of day
