I’m waking up I’m feeling strange I crack open my eyes
They’re crusty plus my mouth is stale I take my time to rise
My head is heavy body aching and to my surprise
I realize this ain’t the place I fell asleep last night
I roll on over off the couch face down
Smash my mouth on the ground bloody lip dripping on the carpet
I clean the mess with a rag find my bag
Reach into the front pocket grab a spliff and begin to spark it
I walk around the house hollering hello
I ask if somebody could share with me some info
I ask if anyone’s there but nobody says so
Think I’m talking to myself I try to head home
I walk up to the front door of the place
Paranoia sets in hits me dead in the face
Heart beat beat beating at a violent pace
I breathe in exit the house and make a dash to the gate
I take a step off the porch trip and fall into darkness
Mind spiraling out quick thinking I’ve lost it
’Til I wake up in my bed covered in sweaty skin
The clock says 3 am not this again fuck
I don’t know what I'm looking at when I look in the mirror
The picture that is looking back doesn’t look very clear
I don’t know what I’m looking at when I look in the mirror
The picture isn’t quite right the picture isn’t quite right
Kaleidoscopic vision taking hold over your system
Pulsing to the rhythm of the wind whipping words of wisdom
I ask permission then proceed graciously through the trees
Soaking in the different colors of the leaves listen
I wanna make amends shaking hands with the enemy
Telling me I’m alive and then breaking waves in the energy
And I’ll be an anomaly watching from over top of me
Do I see any light when I look up into infinity
Endless array of darkness the heart an illusive artist
We make him up in our heads and assess what he says is honest and true
We’re just delusional fools stuck in our youth like
I gotta prove what I choose is better than you I'm
Purely dramatic as I talk over the static
Egoistic narcissistic saying all I want is this
I’m on a mission from god get out of my head this isn’t your fault
You gotta be sick to think this music is the only thing you are
Too far away to save the day out of the cave you must escape
To see the light to make the art you must create to save your heart
And then again you must return to spread the news to all the world
Who sit and mock you as you squint to see the shadows they adore
So are you ready the biggest joke of them all is pretty heavy
It’s a dark humor spark fire spreading the rumor
Of a dream reality things aren’t quite as they seem
Because the dreams inside my head are just as real as you and me
I don’t know what I'm looking at when I look in the mirror
The picture that is looking back doesn’t look very clear
I don’t know what I’m looking at when I look in the mirror
The picture isn’t quite right the picture isn’t quite right
I have a crazy fantasy inside my head
I write the story as I’m laying in my bed
Some nights I prophesize of peace and happiness
And some nights I say nothing
Trusting in the other me who can speak freely
Who knows no fears and cheers as the enemies flee
Who holds life dear and sneers at the greedy and weak
Who seems so near he’s here then I blink and he leaves
Far too often I’m exhausted getting nervous when I’ve lost it
And I soften and I’m coughing and the blood runs like a faucet
From my heart up to my head and then I’m starting to acknowledge That the pain would probably halt if I just up and fucking offed it
Stop this you’re nauseous you’re sick as hell
And you know better than to trust it when you don’t feel well
Give it a rest until you get on back to being yourself
This is the test there ain’t no grade its just a pass or fail
I’m always logical it just might be the death of me
‘Cause there’s no logic here as far as I can see
I think about it every night when I’m asleep
I’m not so sure I know what any of this means
They’re crusty plus my mouth is stale I take my time to rise
My head is heavy body aching and to my surprise
I realize this ain’t the place I fell asleep last night
