Lying awake, you start to take yourself for granted Nothing you make will ever break, your feet are planted Chase your golden chariot, you're the one who'll bury it All the world you're parroting, that's what you're inheriting Everything you decide to do is automatic Your points of view are nothing new, it's only static And when you speak your mind, lay your chips before you Look around and you will find all your friends ignore you What you think you know drags you down until you're Out past the ebb and flow, and it's unfamiliar Now that you're caught, you're in a know, you can't continue What have you got? Don't have a thought to spare within you Hide behind your vanity, compromise your sanity Swollen pride so passionate, fusing lies to fashion it Nobody plays, you waste your days so cavalierly Set in your ways, lost in the haze you love so dearly Oh, and it's all too much, it's a dangerous diet You, you have lost your touch, but you still deny it Running free Axons awash in a chemical sea It's such a simple skill, it's a cinch to master But you never will, you're just spinning faster You're off the track, you can't go back, you're slowly falling Into the black and bitter crack that keeps you crawling Watch your plots go tumbling, feel The Abstract crumbling All your plans are paralyzed, swallowed up and sterilized Thought you were smart, a work of art, your own Valhalla You fell apart, now you can start to do it all again
