lyrics by cleanwhiteroom

I work with precision;
Concepts, heuristics and excision
Of my mistaken visions.
Cognitive refrains
Driving me insane

I hate this division
I’ve got transmitted indecision
Throughout my nervous system.
Syncopated pain
Rooted in the brain

And I can’t see,
Fighting syncope.
Who’s driving this car right now,
Cause I don’t think it’s me.
No, I can’t see
This is syncope
Who’s living this life right now,
Cause I know it’s not me.

Mental persecution
Leads to problems with hypoperfusion
And cognition dissolution.

I hate this solution
I’m on the floor as resolution
To nervous retribution.
Neural amp and gain
Circuits linked in chains

And I can’t see,
Fighting syncope.
Who’s driving this car right now,
Cause I don’t think it’s me.
No I can’t see
This is syncope
Who’s living this life right now,
Cause I know it’s not me.

And I can’t see,
Fighting syncope.
Who’s driving this mind right now,
Cause I don’t think it’s me.
No I can’t see
This is syncope
Who’s living this lie right now,
Cause I know it’s not me.
