nihilist blues

i've been climbing up the walls

to escape the sinking feeling

but i can't hide from the nihilist at my door

buried in the basement floor

didn't know what i had planted

it blossomed with all the heart of a cold war

i'm a spirit in a tomb

won't somebody raise the roof

i'm going white

i'm going black

i'm going blue

do you mind if i'm exhumed?

i'm the ashes in the plume

i'm a beggar in the ruin

i'm peaking out

i'm burning up

i'm shooting through

i'm only lonely for the true

paradise is in my soul

and i'm terrified i can't get out

i'm lost in a labyrinth

we are lost in a labyrinth

paradise is in my soul

and i'm terrified i can't get out

i'm lost in a labyrinth

we are lost in a labyrinth

please don't follow

paradise is in my soul

and i'm terrified i can't get out

i'm lost in a labyrinth

we are lost in a labyrinth

please don't follow

light as a feather

stiff as a board

sink to the floor

i sink to the floor

i sink to the floor

light as a feather

stiff as a board

you were in my dream last night

but your face was someone else's

a twitch in my spine

a mutual disorder

isolation neophyte

too afraid to taste your conscience

you march in the dark

little lamb to the slaughter

i'm a spirit in a tomb

won't somebody raise the roof

i'm going white

i'm going black

i'm going blue

do you mind if i'm exhumed?

i'm the ashes in the plume

i'm a beggar in the ruin

i'm peaking out

i'm burning up

i'm shooting through

i'm only lonely for the true

paradise is in my soul

and i'm terrified i can't get out

i'm lost in a labyrinth

we are lost in a labyrinth

please don't follow

paradise is in my soul

and i'm terrified i can't get out

i'm lost in a labyrinth

we are lost in a labyrinth

please don't follow

please don't follow

please don't follow

please don't follow

please don't follow

i've been climbing up the walls

to escape the sinking feeling

but i can't hide from the nihilist at my door
