Verse 1: I won't be the first To fall through the gate Finding a verse In a chemical state Flying through words Finding their place I can see sounds While they pulse through my veins Chorus: Words keep coming And they all make sense now My pen keeps on writing In an altered state now My mind's just too noisy So, I make it fade out My pen keeps on writing In an altered state now Verse 2: Feel it creep up My lungs set ablaze Feel the effects They're coming in waves I look at the sky Feel us flying through space A million stars Just minutes away Chorus: Words keep coming And they all make sense now My pen keeps on writing In an altered state now My mind's just too noisy So, I make it fade out My pen keeps on writing In an altered state now Verse 3: Now is the time My creative array Ideas abound My mind is a maze Few notes till I'm done It wasn't in vain But, everything's stopped Make one again Chorus: Words keep coming And they all make sense now My pen keeps on writing In an altered state now My mind's just too noisy So, I make it fade out My pen keeps on writing In an altered state now
