In the Back of My Eyelids Lyrics by StoneLungs

Terra

2022

In the back of my eyelids
It's a violent virus
Piercing the mind
Like knives in the iris
Eyelids
Giving way to the mindless
Time spent divided by my paralytic vices
In the back of my eyelids
This indelicate division separates the consciousness
Feed the mind with visions I can’t seem to comprehend
Always just beyond my reasoning, I can't understand
I'm torn apart by misunderstanding imaginary art
It’s always dark these days even when the world wakes
Contemplating all the dangers and the risks we have to take
I fade away through the day faking everything point blank
Piling on the list of every mistake that I make
I probably could've been something by now
Instead I lay back start to slow myself down
Choking on smoke in the haze of the day
Wasted the hours sleepwalking awake
I'm chasing the sun but I'm caught by the earth
Reaching for stars but I drag in the dirt
Searching the world for something that works
How many failures until I learn
Watching the world as it swallows me whole
Eaten by darkness down straight the core
Discordant clairvoyance unravels the soul
Confusion reducing to nothing at all
The chaos of life unfolds in the abyss
The hindsight is cursing me with what I missed
The future mirage teases me as it twists
The danger indulging the subconsciousness
In the back of my eyelids
It's a violent virus
Piercing the mind
Like knives in the iris
Silence
Giving way to the mindless
Time spent divided by my paralytic vices
Every wire and vein begins to intertwine
Our grey matter is shining bright
Burning in a fiery light
Our minds all come to life
Synchronicity inside the silence
Blinded by the phoenix of our lives as it arises
Oh let go
If I let it get the best of me
Overwriting all of my history
Caught between two states I breathe
A life spent stuck in binary
Consciousness and what's beneath
Tempted by the bliss of disbelief
Surrender consuming so easily
The garden of Eden tempting me
I don't know what brought me here
Was it the love or was it fear
Why do I bleed to breathe this air
Why do I feel the need to dream for years
Haunted by the demon sleep
That's carving claws so deep in me
This heart beat battery
So faint but beating
In the back of my eyelids
It’s a violent virus
Piercing the mind
Like knives in the iris
Eyelids
Giving way to the mindless
Time spent divided by my paralytic vices
Haunted by the demon sleep
That’s carving claws so deep in me
This heart beat battery
So faint but beating
