nihilist blues

I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling

But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door

Buried in the basement floor,

didn't know what I had planted

It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War

I'm a spirit in a tomb

Won't somebody raise the roof

I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

I'm the ashes in the plume

I'm a beggar in the ruin

I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

I'm only lonely for the true

Paradise is in my soul,

and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth,

we are lost in a labyrinth

Paradise is in my soul,

and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth,

we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Paradise is in my soul,

and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth,

we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

Sink to the floor, I sink to the floor

I sink to the floor

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

You were in my dream last night,

but your face was someone else's

A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder

Isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience

You march in the dark,

little lamb to the slaughter

I'm a spirit in a tomb

Won't somebody raise the roof

I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

I'm the ashes in the plume

I'm a beggar in the ruin

I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

I'm only lonely for the true

Paradise is in my soul,

and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth,

we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Paradise is in my soul,

and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth,

we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling

But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door
