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 truth

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

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 truth

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
