lyrics

That’s not living/this is living
Close the blinds shut your eyelids
The spider on my wastebasket speaks
Words that only spiders speak.
Sit beneath that one tree and
Listen to the moon seduce you
This is the truth
That girl was only in your brain
This is the truth.
Stop succumbing to reality
This is reality
The black in the sky and the
White concrete that leads to your house
Cancel out.
Lay down.
Think about last week.
Realize the women in your dreams
Are manifestations of what you aren’t
Complete me
That’s not living/This is living
Takeanother
Red Lipstick sex canon
Listen to them speak about
Walking on your bedsheets

Lets move to New York City
Where the walls shoot depth
For our dreams
But their only dreams

I used the thin black line
That cuts across reality
To strangle my future and construct my own

Wake up
I'm not the man I was
The psycho in your basement
We used to share a blanket when we were young
I thought it would be fun
To hear each other speak in tongues
And play the game where I guess what you're thinking
I know I'm not the face you want to see
Why can't you say the place you'd rather be

Relax it's probably over
But Where are the buildings?
People roll down the tiled floor
As if they were refugees
Our eyes are separate entities
Take a seat at the bar
But don't take your headphones out
Learn the escape procedures real quick
Call your cousin from the smoker's lounge
Where are the buildings?
Wait a little bit longer
Great, now its raining
Stare out the window but first
Find the window but first
Wait a little bit longer
Now wake up
People aren't rolling anymore they're
Screaming as if they were refugees
Yeah I landed
But where are the buildings?
Advertise reality and
Make it seem appealing
Dont flaunt your failures but don't conceal them
Its okay to act strange
Someone just passed away
But get the hell out of the smoker's lounge
