Mind Games Lyrics by Chasing Daylight

Home

2019

Is this macabre philosophy
An offbeat form of mockery
That's been ingrained inside of my
Head just to keep me on the edge of my seat?

There's something so iniquitous
About the way we handled this
These limits are delusions of
An imaginary structure

Who what where how when and why?
Are we only here to die?
You know that I could never stop
Questioning authority and

I took a look inside myself
And found a little section of
Structural instability
My great ideas aren't as well dressed as they seem

I used to whistle to myself in grade school
Just because I wasn't allowed to
And when I was younger I was so afraid of failure
But I grew up and burned that kind of thinking to the ground
To the ground

And the light from my capsule glows
Just to elucidate the fact
That my swollen ankles are
No longer tied down weights

I've been trying to balance all these scales
And these stories are getting stale
I've learned to brush it off but
Entropy will have it's way with me

I prefer chaos to order and
My headspace seems to border with
Another land inside of my
Colorfully lit up cognizance

Everyone likes to think they're right
But I know that I can't be wrong
My tacit code of life states that
Getting fucked over's the only way
To write a decent song

I used to whistle to myself in grade school
Just because I wasn't allowed to
And when I was younger I was so afraid of failure
But I grew up and burned that kind of thinking to the ground
To the ground
