Sounds creep softly into my ears
Deafening as it's exploding in my head
No silent peace
My head keeps making symphonies of deluded thoughts
Thoughts and dreams and music
Streaming endless, they are stuck in my head!
Open nerves, they're killing me
Enlarging everything
My mind explodes; it's burning up and scaring me
Nothing feels the same
So strong it shuts me down, so strong I lost control
Emotions creep slowly into my heart, not just my own
I pick up every signal
Inflamed and sore
My heart keeps making tragedies of diminutive things
My everything hurts!
My system burns!
Sounds and words and memories
They captured me, they're stuck in my head!
Open nerves, they're killing me
Enlarging everything
My mind explodes; it's burning up and scaring me
Nothing feels the same. So strong it shuts me down
Open nerves!
They're showing me the truth by force
My body's completely drained
And primitive emotions can thrive. Goodbye 'control'
I feel more pain
My system forces me to
A mental twist to fear all I can become... I can become!
Open nerves, they're killing me
Enlarging everything
My mind explodes; it's burning up and scaring me
Nothing feels the same
As it shuts me down. A signal I can't defy
They're showing me the truth by force
My body's completely drained
And primitive emotions can thrive
Goodbye 'control'. Goodbye illusion
