[Verse 1]

The self-inflicted state of mind

A one-man struggle beneath the tower

I think the clock still exists

God just forgot to tap my shoulder


[Pre-Chorus 1]

I woke up today

I wish I felt something

The odour of my apathy

Just might be true


[Chorus]

I want to be the things I see

The pilgrim that is me

But I know I ain't that free

The suburban that is me


[Verse 2]

Spirits rise and miss the eye

Covered by the stench of judgement

As gods reflection tests my pride

I serve the failure that's haunting me


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Twisted visions torturing

Who claims to be the one?

That filtered smile

Just might be true


[Chorus]

I want to be the things I see

The pilgrim that is me

But I know I ain't that free

The suburban that is me


[Bridge]

Can you hear the message

As I wrestle with the clouds?

I'm on the way to succumb

It just might be true


[Chorus]

I want to be the things I see

The pilgrim that is me

I want to be the things I see

The suburban that is me

But I know I ain't that free
