lyrics

My shadow is now chasing me
And I can't even tell nightmare from dream
How I wish that I could come down
And get my mind's feet back on the ground

I only wanted to get high not divorced from my soul
In the blink of a bloodshot eye it's out of control
My world is melting and nothing makes sense
It triggered a nightmare I had no defense

The high is when the soul misbehaves
And the rest of the world breaks down into waves
So there it then went down my throat
And now the image of me in the mirror has the horns of a goat

Could this very well be the landslide that sends me to hell
I only really wanted the trip not a psychic jail cell
The walls are throbbing and reason stands still
What you'd never expect from a small harmless pill

Call in the kids and lock up the dogs
Anxiety is coming to town
Smell the fear it's like hell's foul breath
The black cloud is coming down

My world is melting and nothing makes sense
It triggered a nightmare I had no defense
The walls are melting and reason stands still
What you'd never expect from a small harmless pill

Alex writes what he wants to write and flat out refuses to be pinned down. Hopefully it all fits (of course it do). ... more
