Thinking Plague I Do Not Live
We go in circles all the time
We placate each other with rituals
We never think of breaking out
Because it hurts us in our heads
Why can't I ever wake up and be?
What is it that I can never see?
When we are talking we are false
When we are working we are real
If we can trust, then let us strive
To remember that we're ourselves
Why do you torment me with the past
When at any time death may find us?
Though death stalks me, I do not live
Though death taunts me, I do not give
I know that you are using me
You have a need you can't explain
I let you use me though it hurts
And never let you know you are
I am also using you using me
We're just like two laboratory rats
Walking through the moldering death of aeons
Feeling time's cold breath
Knowing that it does not care
Only with this knowledge
Can I know who I am
Only when I know death
Do I know I'm alive
We go in circles all the time
We placate each other with rituals
We never think of breaking out
Because it hurts us in our heads
Why can't I ever wake up and be?
What is it that I can never see?
Though death stalks me, I do not live
Thought death taunts me, I do not give
Though death stalks me, I do not live
Thought death taunts me, I do not give
I know that you are using me
You have a need you can't explain
I let you use me though it hurts
And never let you know you are
I am also using you using me
We're just like two laboratory rats
