This Doesn't Involve You

I woke up at night
I got a big fright
Was Dead singing with Mayhem outside?
It only took a second
To forget the question
The answer was still in my mind

I got that answer
When I was young
And I first started to realise
That cartoons and shows
Either lied or didn't know
About the realities of life

(It doesn't matter)
I can just
(To me now)
Fall asleep
Background noise
(It doesn't matter)
I can just
(To me now)
Fall asleep
Background noise

I think I know
Why they kill each other
Every single night
But if someone asked me
I think I'd just freeze
It's ambiguous to say the least

I hope it's something breathing
Something with meaning
If they insist on disrupting me
But I don't care
I'm no longer scared
It just makes me angry

(Background noise
Background noise)

(It doesn't matter)
I can just
(To me now)
Fall asleep
Background noise
(It doesn't matter)
I can just
(To me now)
Fall asleep
Background noise

We're adults
(The grown ups are talking)
And we can do what we want

Living in the middle
Of a David Lynch film
The world spins around
And I pass out
I had a dream where I fell in love
But her face was just a hazy blur
I lay in bed
With a looking glass
Trying to pinpoint all of the cracks
But I don't know how to get them fixed
And I don't know if I can learn new tricks
Maybe I'll coat my room in white
Cover my ears and close my eyes
And numb my body to the slightest touch
And there'll be nothing that can get too much
Someone's calling
And it's not my friend
They say it's on me to make amends
I ask how long it'll take to climb
They say IT'S GONNA BE A LONG TIME
