I sleep dreams come to meet me Poison subconscious defeats me Specters of doubt won't release me Shattered soul bends down to it's knees In R.E.M. I am defenseless Falling can't stop this senseless Feeling I am now helpless Spectator in this process (Chorus) When I'm awake it's a plague Daylight cannot chase away Nothing I do or say Can make me level again Shift picks up or breaks down negative thoughts abound City of hope a ghost town Bipolar shank cuts it down Cast in a pit of despair Cannot breathe, have no air Complain life isn't fair No ears, no one who cares A slice of medication still can't ease frustration An air of impatience Peace of mind in isolated moments Society don't accommodate Social mores don't relate Observations indicate Mexican stand off, a stalemate Spend life in isolation Tribe of one nothing in common On the fringe of all everyone Unmixed no damage is done
