I'm the spaceman cowboy Psychedelic psychic Paranoid schizoid Counting all my vices I'm fighting all my blessings I'm caught up in a crisis Although my sleep's d**hless My days seem lifeless I scream at existence, it answers with silence I silenced the questions with outbursts of violence I'm lost in the maze where I find my reality I triumph on self defeat and beat myself gradually I drove myself mad, searching for sanity I lost my way home while exploring the galaxies I'm fueling these fires that burn my mentality My muse is abuse and a long road of tragedies I drown in the depths of my bitter self knowledge I used all my bravery trying to have courage I seek for forgiveness, but beg to be punished I fight for my freedom while chained to these gutters I find all my comforts in deep insecurities Spoil what's beautiful looking for impurities I'm buried in the lies trying to live my life truthfully I sail my ship alone and I'm still having mutinies I'm wearing a disguise hiding from the phonies I'm hiding from myself, but I'm scared of being lonely My world's like a cell God created just to hold me My life's like a game where my d**h is the trophy I'm the spaceman cowboy Psychedelic psychic Paranoid schizoid Counting all my vices I'm fighting all my blessings I'm caught up in a crisis And though my sleep's d**hless My days seem lifeless Although I keep aging, memories are timeless I drink to forget, an empty bottle's my reminder I live for the wisdom and die trying to hide from it
My theories are terminal, my lifestyle's survivalist I'm weary of science, but slave to the scientist I dig my own grave, but too afraid to lie in it Straight from the snake pit into the lion's den Fighting the beast 'cos it won't let the violence end Searching for peace in a war-torn environment Holding the torch that no-one's igniting yet Walking into darkness, scared 'cos I'm fearless Fighting with the demons even though they ain't appeared yet Trying to see it clearly when I've never got a clear head So far from living yet I'm so scared to greet d**h Sure that I'll drown with this strange urge to seek depth Wisdom's invisible, I'm still trying to see sense Trapped in procedures we take to gain freedom Fighting for strength yet way beyond healing Searching for love even though I can't receive it Preaching the truth unsure if I believe it "The madness of a memory which busies itself among forbidden things While the angel forms became meaningless spectres with heads of flame Then silence And stillness And night Were the universe" Trapped in the labyrinth, cold and lonely A thousand years of nothing eternally control me The world's like a cell God created just to hold me My life's like a game where my d**h is the trophy (x2) Praise Judy clay, we shall not grow weary Burnt from within, it's the Wickerman theory Burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn (x2) End Note; The narration sampled at the end is from The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe
