It's like...

There's something there

It's in the back of mind. I can't get it out...

These voices...

[Chorus]

There's an undertow brewing in the back of my mind

It's dragging me under and then grabbing my life

And sapping me dry. This damn undertow

Where the lightning strike? Shhh, the thunder knows

[Verse 1]

Where insanity lurks there is a fetal fetus

The air hurts, it's charred yellow like seeing Venus

The smoke won't clear, so your breathing weakens

We keep the heathens here to let em sleep with demons

An inverted mind where every smile lies

Every try is prized, quite divine, now it's time to die

Nevermind the cries, just throw some iodine

They'll be flying high soon, see the pious eyes?

Steer clear of those guys if you cherish life

Learn to see in the dark like those Paris nights

Now we drift off more into the slope of sleep

Broken things haunt our hopes and dreams

We lay back on grass where nostalgia creeps

Track the past, capture fast a whole lot'of screams

A new world... ghosts control the dark

Where the mistakes we ever made patrol our thoughts

[Verse 2]

I got some beef - so I'ma sit and stew

Rock to sleep partially, I'm pissed at you

My emotions run together like a soup of sorts

But we're the pillars of the earth, I need some group support

By "we" I mean all these scrambled thoughts and I

Rock-a-bye baby -- no time to stop and cry

I just fell asleep, so am I dreaming still?

Going through a rough spell, gotta keep it real

But there are people here, and it hurts to look

Bombarded like the dirt was shook and the earth was cooked

Half a billion years before life arose

I suppose the time is close to say my mind is toast

Let's find a boat... and sail the sands of time

Grab the moon and revere the trailing band of light

A raging river of awe, you cannot stop 'em all

These days're bitter as we topple towards the waterfall
