[Intro] [Verse 1] I’m tracing every crack inside the plaster of the ceiling Dealing with a feeling that is stealing every healing It’s appealing how I mask it, keep the casket closed and bolted System is revolted, like my soul was high-voltage jolted I’m a ghost in the machine, chasing hopes that I haven’t seen Living gross in the in-between, tryna keep the canvas clean But the ink is bleeding through, turning pink to deeper blue I’m a link that’s coming loose, what’s a thinker supposed to do? I’m drowning in the shallow, keep my spirit in the fallow Following a shadow through a valley that is narrow. [Chorus] I’ve got issues, yeah, they’re stacked up to the rafters I’m reading through the script but I can’t find the final chapters It’s static in the attic, it’s a heavy kind of weight Trying to find a logic in a messy kind of fate Yeah, the silence is a riot, and the quiet is a lie I’m just staring at the floor while I’m aiming for the sky. [Verse 2] They ask me how I’m doing, I just give ‘em the generic My visions are esoteric, my condition is atmospheric I’m climbing up the pinnacle but feeling kind of cynical The timing is so critical, my healing is so clinical I analyze the damage, try to manage every wreckage But I can’t even advantage when I’m fading in the passage I’m locked inside a prism, it’s a toxic kind of rhythm A chronic micro-schism in a mental mechanism I’m holding onto tension like a permanent suspension Did I mention the depression is a calculated lesson? [Bridge] It’s not a phase, it’s a maze with a thousand walls. It’s a blaze in the rain where the shadow falls. One step forward. Two steps back. Eyes on the light, but my heart stays black. [Chorus] I’ve got issues, yeah, they’re stacked up to the rafters I’m reading through the script but I can’t find the final chapters It’s static in the attic, it’s a heavy kind of weight Trying to find a logic in a messy kind of fate Yeah, the silence is a riot, and the quiet is a lie I’m just staring at the floor while I’m aiming for the sky.
