I hear the back door creak longer than I can stand
I feel the breaching pulses of another land
Paranoia sets in, my head starts to spin
Glassy eyed, mirror minded by a friend of mine
Animal on my back with its own mind
Better keep him occupied
Monkey on my back, sends chills up my spine
Would you care to guess?
Am I in my right mind?
These walls won't reflect
We pass through them like the light
The footing's soft, the eyes fall off
Another victim for the animal's trough
And I close my eyelids
This tree is alive, hero in disguise
War between the plants and artificial light
Turn out all the lights, hide ourselves from sight
Would you care to guess?
Am I in my right mind?
These walls won't reflect
We pass through them like the light
The footing's soft, the eyes fall off
Another victim for the animal's trough
And I close my eyelids
