Part of the Delusion

from Drifting in a Sea of Uncertainty by Lucid Awakening

/

lyrics

I have lost my focus
I don’t feel so good today
Pinned by my subconscious
“Think I’ll stay in bed”, I’ll say
Mixing sins for pleasure
Anything to dodge reality
Can’t seem to stay grounded
Disconnect to keep the hounds at bay

Drowning in the sea of my insecurities

I’m wrapped up in this anamorphic state
Petrified
Begging someone to clean my slate

I don’t wanna go outside today with this delusion in my mind
I’m not getting any sleep tonight with these discrepancies behind my eyes
Behind my eyes…
Behind my eyes…

I can’t spend all my days waiting for the weather to change (the gaze)
That burns my skin is my own
Strive for volition
The rain may come, but happiness is born from within
From within

Porous little mind
You let them in
Shirking affliction and screaming out victim (2x)

I have to purge this ulcer upon my skin
I have to prevent all the thoughts from creeping in
Just retain normalcy
Flee from transparency

One weak moment…
Lucid moment…
Left the door open for a familiar visitor
One weak moment…
Sends your pedestal tumbling down

“I am the slanderer that shares your sacred home
Born from the perversion; from crooked chemicals
There is no reprieve from your restless, resting state
How can you fight against affliction so innate?”

I can’t spend all my days waiting for the weather to change (the gaze)
That burns my skin is my own
Strive for volition
The rain may come, but happiness is born from within
From within

Gather your friends, build your army, you’re not alone in this fight
(Don’t buy the lies that you sell to yourself)
Even though you’re in the cyclone you can still define your constants
(Let go of pride, we could share in the wealth)

I am gonna face the world today with no delusion in my mind
I am severing the strings tonight from the discrepancies behind my eyes
