lyrics

Come Clean

so follow me down to the depths of unexpected clarity
in the face of predicted clumsy steps in the darkness
now it's to late to accept i'm insane
all these shreds of incidental harmony
my brain worked out in vain

i don't wanna believe that there's nothing
out here in this world to help me, no
i don't wanna believe it's not worth a try

help me out with a flashlight
to illuminate the sun-burned cave of bone
it's not my fatal sacrifice
to scrape out my head
and dispose of this shit so i can
come clean

i refuse to give up on my world
that has tended my sense of perfection
ever-since my first futile creation of thoughts
now it's to late to accept i'm a slave to this shit
this insolent necessity
my brain worked out in vain

yeah I wanna believe that I found the
shortcut to sanity
yeah I wanna believe it's worth a try

my truth feels untrue in a stranger's throat
the key is madness
for only inside lies the simplicity of twirling, twisting thoughts
only inside my own revelations thrive for existence
only inside the capacity can be filled
the failing and ever failing attempts to explain
they tire, they die
steel complex and unyielding
forced through the sieve of language
the very way of telling becomes its barrier
producing only shreds, splinters
lonely voiceless, brainless creatures
fighting for their right to exist in a lost and overwhelming battle
for no man, no engineer, much less machine
will reassemble the vague pile of shredded wisdom
born from the innermost heart
the key is madness
diving into the vast and open opportunities
embedded in a detached mind
set free from sanity and the will to relate
its shackles become engines
truth lies open
yet comprehension ever fails
help me
