lyrics

i retreat into my dreams daily
i'm only seventy percent present at best at any time
and i have no mood permanence
whatever i am is whatever i have always been

living in the future lately, dry eyes, wide smile
living life as a virus, showing only some signs of living at all
i only sleep for pleasure, only breathe in chemicals
when i start feeling too light, i weigh myself down

because i need heaviness, i need to know i'm really here
if something passes me by, i'm afraid i'll fade away
or disintegrate into strands of grey, grey hair
burn up in the atmosphere

my dreams keep sneaking up on me
it's always when i feel like i could almost get to sleep
noise always creeping up on me
and i can see all the colour and the sound around you

skeleton can't hold me in
i burst outside of my own skin, don't know where i am going
fall backwards onto my bed
but i don't get up, no, i plan to sleep this off instead

i am a memory
long lost twin of a reflection
i am a memory
long lost twin of a reflection
i am a memory

follow the stars back home
as i float out of my body
