lyrics

I want to avoid the dream, to be intoxicated,
And be content to be inconsequential,
Please don't come near me, I fear we are enemies,
Self medicating is replacing batteries,
The terror confounds me, How true is a memory?

But now I am present I'm still somehow absent,
In the heart of the fire there remains my presence,
Laughing in rapture left behind by my body,
Which lies out in the sun to warm my blood,
In a memory of heat I can't seem to repeat.

A memory of ecstasy achieved in the blaze,
When the night may as well have been the day,
When the light reflects colours as vibrant as youth,
And the land and the sea were one and the same,
It was perfect like Chopin, Hendrix, Cobain.

My youth is consumed, now my mind is exhumed,
From the hollow beneath me, behind me, don't frighten me,
Broken and old, want to be alone,
But I'm here on this stage still, I'm frozen, I'm stuck
Like I'm fucking someone who I don't want to fuck,

Its chaos. Its trickery! None of its real,
But the panic is building, I know what I feel,
Just crush it back down right inside of my chest,
Its kindling fear all along with the rest,
And I do need to rest but its what I detest.

I can see you again, I'm back there in my mind,
Your face like the sun bespeaks the moon in my eyes,
I run over the scene again and again,
Was that me? Did I say that? I'm wondering how,
All of the past fades into the now,

How true is the mind compared to the eye?
My trust has no choice without the light,
My flesh is dry and my hands are cold,
I tear at my lungs and I'm burned by a flame,
My body is ashes but my soul is ablaze.
