My head is spinning, hurting for days
I'm so tired, I can't think straight
Who doesn't love to fantisize?
The mind is a fragile thing

I can't sleep, nightmares
I don't remember why I'm here
They say I'm deluded
Where'd that come from?

You can't define reality
What's wrong with being insane?
The darkness goes deep, you won't find anything
“He's cruel” when I'm being kind

To me the world is a different tint
You see an unfamiliar look on my face
Who knows what I'll do next
There is no good or evil

I am lost; you see my mind wanders
All you have to do is believe
Bloodshot eyes and a twisted smile
I can see nothing but neon
