"The Unhealthy Habit of Thought"


Deep offshore now,
Solid ground so far behind me.
Don't know why I threw myself into this sea that binds me.
Seduced by fantasy
Frightened by these gray skies,
I dashed again behind the wall, behind my own two eyes.

Chorus-
Oh no,
Lost in the maze inside my head
Poor soul,
I'm talking to myself again.
Please free me from this prison.
This dreamscape holds me captive.
Please save me, won't you listen?
I'm here now, inactive.

Drunk off the dream
And refusing to leave,
A voluntary captive of this world I can't believe.
Run the cursed circuit
Just to search for fleeting reasons,
And unravel the true nature of this universal treason.

Repeat chorus

Bridge-
Lost and tossed in a labyrinth of confusion and doubt,
Fleeing to the world within to escape a life without
Any flowers or the power just to break the cycle here
And no softly spoken solace whispered gently in my ear.
Hearing all their words again and writing my own tale,
And echoing forever to relive the tests I fail. 
Such is needed if I'm ever gonna find my sacred way,
But I swear this searing sanctuary kills me more each day.

Repeat chorus
