lyrics

My eyes are open but I think
that somehow I’m still asleep.
I need something just to keep
my face from numbing
when I breathe. Cause I can’t
move, sit up, or speak with dead
weight legs and welded teeth.

Paralyzed by what’s inside
the fevered dendrites of my mind.
Tied to a box spring, cauterized
while walls close in and shadows
rise.There’s this thing I need to say
that my jawline won’t let me.
So the thought just plays and plays
and I’m afraid of what it means:

Though our neurons look the same
what flows inside keeps us estranged
and though I’m picking up my feet
I’m not sure if what I see
is memory or coma dream.

I saw the doorknob eat the key.
I’m not sure but I think
there might be something wrong with me.

They cast our heads in the same shape
then filled them up
with something strange.

So for every body’s brain
there’s a locked room with no key

and for every dead eyed face
a feeling without a name.

I wanna show you what’s behind
but I’m afraid to pull the blinds.

I’ve got black mold on my jeans.
I think my lungs are full of teeth.
I’m eating yellow pills to ease
this lethal heart rate’s quickening.

The ceiling bloats to then recede.

What’s it like on the other side
of what keeps me wondering
if I can trust the things I’ve seen
or if pulling up the blinds
means looking out into nothing?

Open up the door and see
what it means to say to be.
Open up the door and see.
Echo back if you can hear me.

I’ve got black mold on my jeans.
My lungs are full of cavities.
I’m pounding on the door to see
If locks or skulls mean anything.
