Coping Mechanism Lyrics


You say I'm angry, I can't deny that it's burning in my veins

But that's only the symptom

You say I'm searching, I tell you now...the things that I have seen could crush your fragile state of mind

I call it folklore

Wander the moonscape, let your spirit fly

Disguised as strength and yet I never question why

Wander the moonscape, a dreamworld farewell

Your id desires freedom, subterfuge by self

Born in my mind, a seed of misanthropic fear

I can't identify as one of you and yet I know

It's not a phase, it's not a stretch...I'd love to rid myself this useless cage of human flesh

We call it folklore

Wander the hallways, let your spirit fly

Disguised as innocence, you never question why

Wander the hallways, a conscious farewell

Your id desires freedom, subterfuge by self

Wander the hospital, let your spirit fly

I am a lonely vessel, a candle in the night

Wander the hospital, subconscious farewell

Memories and time will fade, how long can broken ships sail?

Lies and lies from generations die

Yet I'm the only one who questions why we're here
