Lyrics

Green lush scenery, birds circle around me
Tripping while I lose my sanity, slowly
Safety? Hah—this ain’t no sweet sanctuary
Mind going numb while the breeze trying to hold me

Words—letters—clusters—shit’s getting too much
Cooking in my own damn sauce, a slow burner, I’mma spice it up
Love hate—lust daze—rushed gaze—blurred haze
Everything grey, a grounded tardigrade

Outside its fun, blinding sunshine and rainbows
Inside are slugs, mud, cryptic little shitshows
Wind comes clean, rips away the chokehold
Eyes start watering—I ain’t good at letting go

Drowning in mud, thud, stuck, fuck, now I gotta crawl
Pulling levers of this robot, sparking old resolve
Syncing, desyncing, linking, no blinking
Tuning in to the signal, I feel the groove surge coming

Fighting battles, day and night
Shit, I can’t tell—oasis from blight
Moisture on my hands, cold damp like ice
Crazy how I snap back—reunite

Voices, noises, unfocused, in crisis
Gotta break out from this maggot-infested tightness
Memories respawning, stuck in a dead loop
I ain’t going under, start up the mud drum groove

This engine its rusty, creaking and trailing
Narrowing my vision now, stick shift controlling
You and me, team now - brother
Fly so high, view below absurd—a cosmic crater

Surrounded by fairies, I can feel my brain again
Gotta ride the wave or get swallowed by ashen hands
Grab my will, shake the wasps, wake up the manic march
Someway, somehow, forged me a new glass heart

Drowning in mud, thud, stuck, fuck, now I gotta crawl
Pulling levers of this robot, sparking old resolve
Syncing, desyncing, linking, no blinking
Tuning in to the signal, I feel the groove surge coming

Fighting battles, day and night
Shit, I can’t tell—oasis from blight
Moisture on my hands, cold damp like ice
Crazy how I snap back—reunite

Fighting battles, day and night
Shit, I can’t tell oasis from blight
Too sensitive, too jaded, too—never mind
I ain’t worried, I always snap back—reunite
