lyrics

There are always those thoughts that attach themselves inside your skull like a pet sucker fish. It's a pest and a burden, those little impulses of incredibility the ones you thought you'd never miss.
A series of questions in a tiny room of one or an endless monologue. Eat away at doubt or let another into that cavern filled with smog.

Quiet child, now wait your turn. A pendulum decides your fate. The rest in line will surely burn. A boundless prize for those who wait.

You're coming closer to figuring this out, a race in a maze with several finish lines. The ivy's grown quite thick and there's no escaping through the vines.
Pass up your surroundings and never look on back. Your memory will guide you if you ever loosen up the slack.

You're constantly thinking of an endless tune with little melody and no resolve. It beats and strums and hums inside your head, but who wrote it is never solved.

Loosen up your head and the voices will stop.
Loosen up your head and these thoughts will make sense.
Loosen up your head and you'll make the time to talk.
Loosen up your head and you'll finally feel happy.

We're bringing you home. Your ride has arrived. Let's take this long green gown off and put this nightmare aside. I have a wheelchair waiting for you in the hall. Just keep your head to your chest; these people inside these white painted walls will tell you to stay, that this is your fault, but baby listen to me. You've come so far and maybe we could get married and walk in the park. I love you so and everyone else inside your skull. I love you so and everyone else inside your skull.
