I constantly surrender the key
To this kingdom of mine and now the flames engulf me
God, I just want to be
Someone for who self-immolation doesn't come as easily
Old habits die so hard they say
And while they live they're slowly killing me
No, it's not lost on me
That I'm a thousand miles from where I need to be
I'm wide awake and my mind's floating out to sea
Dwelling on the trivial creates the waves that I know will capsize me
I can't seem to stop the way I think- I can't keep me quiet
Bind and gag all my synapses and neurons God. I need the silence
Shut up- I need some space to breathe
Shut up- I need some space lest I disintegrate
I constantly surrender the key
The only one I will ever need- and the only one that will ever save me

Lying in my bed near the ocean
I keep mistaking the waves for the sound of rain
And another time near a gravel road
A car drives by and it sounds the same
My head plays tricks on me oh, all the time
I think I need to try to find
A way to change the light bulbs in my brain
To remember...
It's high tide and high time
I put the ocean metaphors in the past
Because no matter how appealing a gimmick is
The appeal will never last
Press on, next song- it's all the same
Chords rearranged with a different name
Never found a better set of gallows for reason
Than seeing your face
My head plays tricks on me oh, all the time
I think I need to try to find
A way to change the light bulbs in my brain
To remember the growth that comes with rain
And that life is dull if it always stays the same
The change from melody to dissonance comes with the expectation
That I'll instantly become retrospective beyond my years
But it seems to be that spouting wisdom- if you'd call it that
For the sake of doing so only prepares the groundwork for failing
To fix problems that don't need fixing- because that's the wrong idea
Or is it just me?
