lyrics

I mark a difference
A lack of neurotransmission
Suddenly I find I’m feeling like I
got no time
I’ve got no time to lose.

Misunderstanding
Brain-reality barrier’s grown far too demanding
Suddenly I find
if I feel it inside
it never really comes out quite right.

What’s the deal?
When I was younger, I felt more at ease.
Now it all makes perfect sense
so long as it doesn’t come from me.
I’m seized by a vague and constant disgrace
I can’t keep track of the look on my face
But I keep opening my mouth cause
To hear it back might bring some peace.

She’s got her issues
Too bad that the common one
ain’t “I still miss you.”
Suddenly I find I have no idea why
I choose to hold on to feelings I can’t apply.

Internal struggle
Personal legacy in my own little bubble
Suddenly I find I’m stalling on line
just to be told I’ve been fooled, it slipped by.

Idealization
Might reach my destination
if not for constant rumination
Suddenly I find I’m taking this ride
for reasons worse than just to fill the time.

There ain’t no song that'll make a difference
It stacks up much the same anyway.

What a thing to come to terms with
Worry absorbs concern in the brain
Forces a constant inward gaze
And you can't see through the haze.
