Waking from the caustic daze
Awake from the null, renewed, a clear gaze
Reborn, opened the box
Infused, now all is lost
Now I, stand, I won't comply
Silence - the death we accept to stay numb so
Why should I wait, benign
Dull and pacified
There's a war in my mind
A storm that rages inside
And I'm afraid what I'll find
Existential vices
I'm in overload
Far from the still of stasis
The wonderings wander around
Some charge, get large, persistence in their sound
Give it to me!
Now I'm replaying every move
I'm digging for the meaning
And paths - endlessly, they diffuse
Headspace ablaze
I can't switch it off tonight
It's too much tonight
I
I just wanted to feel, but then it got too real
An overdose of emotion
I
I just wanted to heal, the wounds a smile conceals
An overdose of emotion
Now I, cannot be confined
Mute or suppressed, I reject the virus
Reprise what was locked inside
Medicated cell, I'm breaking out now
And it might be too much
Now I can't switch it off
Yeah it might be too much
But I am fine
Far from the still of stasis
The wonderings stampede around
They chase, conflate, persistent in their sound
Give it to me!
Now I'm replaying every move
I'm digging for the meaning
And paths - endless, they diffuse
Headspace ablaze, it's all too much
I
I just wanted to feel, but then it got too real
An overdose of emotion
I
I just wanted to heal, the wounds a smile conceals
An overdose of emotion
I wanted
I just wanted to feel...
An overdose of emotion
I just wanted, but then it got too real
An overdose of emotion
Now I can feel
An overdose of emotion
I just wanted to feel
But it got too real
An overdose of emotion
I stand, I won't comply
I am all alone inside
