Eyedea & Abilities - The Dive Lyrics
* send corrections to the typistIt starts out with a question. How much of it is real?The skepticism sets in, and lessens your appealNext, you study conspiracy, develop some theoriesAnd become extra wary of all your previous learned materialYour tolerence for stupidity degradesMost of your friends seem to be trapped in the mazeYou narrow your associates down to the few you can standAnd even they sometimes wonder what's going on in that head of yoursYou study east and western philosophy, psychology, physicsYou think a lot more, and start to question existenceYou wonder about your nervous system's limitsYou tamper with reality maps, and then ask hallucinogenic induced"Who am I's? What am I? Am I forever?"All information breathes in the shallow dark hells of neverYou can see where it's leading. You wish you were dreamingIf the castle crumbles no one's there to put it back together[Chorus]Have you ever felt yourself slippin' away?Where all you think about's your sanity, and how it decayed?There's no place to run, no place to hideYou can't escape from inside, and you're losing your mindYou try to think of when it started, and ask yourself whyBut each thought deepens the sickness and completes the desert dryFear feeds the derangement of the inner eyeWith nothing left you find yourself falling to madness so you...... cry to your god, and act normal to your peersWhat if God ain't hearing you? That's your only fearEach day you think more about your psychosisNo one but you can help you, and you know thisThat's the craziest part of it allIn your rational mind, you only know two things for sureOne is that your totally nutsAnd the other is that you're the only one with the cureIt doesn't make sense, it's not how you imaginedYou never knew it could just happenYou thought it came from stress, suicide, a near death experienceWar, drug trips, low pay ,carelessnessYou've heard plenty of stories about schizophreniaBut never had evidence of one who thought himself madYou're going crazy, and desperately reachin' for reasonBut the strain to stay sane's your only demon; best believe it[Chorus]You finally realize that you've always lived in hellNo human model or metaphor can explain how you fellThe puzzle's alive, and it changes as you try to escape itIt created time and made it appear to pass byYou don't know what you think. You don't think what you knowYou're a total lunatic, and afraid it's starting to showWhere do you go when your brain is your worst enemy?The six hundred and sixty six foot tall bridge on seventh street?You're scared. You're scared. Why are you so scared?There'd be no problem if you didn't careNow you've truly formed an opinion about heavenIt starts out with a question, and this is what it ends inNow I know you've felt yourself slip awayNow all you think about's your sanity, and how it decayedThere's no place to run. No place to hideYou can't escape the fact that you've lost your mindYou can't erase your mistakes. There's no way to rewindThe harder you look, the harder it is to findFear feeds the derangement of the inner eyeWith nothing left you find yourself falling to madness, so you diveso you dive (repeated)And with each foot you fallthe voice in your head starts to sound more and more like yours
