lyrics

Stealthily plotting my escape
But monuments keep toppling over the ruines I'm usually lost in
Unusually exhausted
Ninety percent of this person's personalities worthless fairly often
Barely stepped up to the platform and I'm steadily coughing
Voice has been mad scragglier than the average ever since my tonsils chopped
I'd say I'm chilling

(Piano)

This music is the chauffeur of the mood
Stand up out my chair just to get closer to the moon I might pull a Remus Lupin
Rock bags under my eyes
Howling on this beat as long as the beat is looping
See me scoop an extra spoonful of dark roast into my keurig after repeatedly snoozing
Because the sky is dreary and the cities grey
Everybody's gloomy
I only travel in the dark of the shadows
I go to battle with the sharks in the shallows
I'm that megaladon
Prehistoric beast that
Stoic monster of the open seas
Stowing mantras in my memories
Zoning out of consciousness every time the rhythm starts developing
And when the feeling begins to envelop me the sickness starts to swell up

(piano)

Imagine having a radical state of mind with a
Emphasis on extravagant sense of four dimensions
And figments I can't afford to mention
Cuz the ideas that sent them watch me while I sleep
They mutter to me while I lie awake
But the moment I awake
These vivid visions evade me i'm back in the room I fell asleep in and my mind is straight
These visions these dreams tuck me into bed
When the sky is dreary and the cities red
Its either thoughts of eldritch abstractions that intoxicate me
Or these realities I dread
In reality I read some Lovecraft copped the mind set
Dropped Gemeinschaft flipped the lights off and sat there
Inhaled the black air that surrounds my movements
Now concluding I'm the only man capable of thinking in these cloudy ruines
A bunch of phonies and frauds with too much purpose
Lurking in these cloudy ruines
