Diminishing Returns

Welcome
Mortal
Where hope and fear are one
A fascinating pattern hits my face
Rotary spectrum made of lines
Magnetizing my yearning daze
Oh, don't you worry, I'm fine
Stupefied is the correct term
To describe my reaction
Words put together, stretched and firm
To confuse my motion
Spin, spun, spinning, panning left and right
Searching for directions as a guide
Stubborn body parts refuse to move
Lethargic static pride
Bleeps, censor my thoughts, productivity calls
Face me, erase me
Build up the stronghold, do it without me
Do it for me and I'll ignore my fall
Clogs in the sewer, unclogged if remembered
Are they real or are they not
Centrifugal force unleashed (full speed)
Will it stop or will it not
Science and facts sacrificed
Might have been in vain
We will see once we get that far
Until then, we sleep
Shrooms and gloom means the end
Smoke and broke means the end of this dream
(Bleeps) censor my thoughts, productivity calls
Face me, erase me
Build up the stronghold, do it without me
Do it for me and I'll ignore my whole life
All my needs
(Ignored, postponed, procrastinate)
No more of this
(Anxiety, unfair despair)
Please
(Maxed out tension without release)
I'm tired of sleeping
(Done)
I've woken up, I'm paralyzed
My motions are restricted
Constricted, struggling to move
Another day in an anxious skin
Feels like home
Normal
The patterns I see, yet all is normal
They fly over me, yet all is normal
They're strangling me, yet all is normal
All is normal (no more)
Another day
Week two, month five, year ten, too many to count
Exacerbate, calm down, they say
A deep breath is all it takes
Feels like all is
Normal
The patterns I see, yet all is normal
They fly over me, yet all is normal
They're strangling me, yet all is normal
All is normal
All is normal
Sing for me (normal)
Sing with me (normal)
Scream for me (normal)
Scream with me (normal)
Out of place (normal)
Where I belong (normal)
All is normal
The colors we hear means all is normal
The colors we hear, the horrors we fear are here
Here to stay with me
Confined in the confines of me
Can we set it free
Rise, rise once more
With a careless faith
Fall, fall forevermore
Time to see that what you see is far from what I see
Makes sense
The more life goes on the less it makes sense
The more life goes on the less it makes sense
(Time to see that what you see is far from what I see)
The more life goes on the less it makes sense
(Time to see that what you see is far from what I see)
In the end
