Coping Mechanism Lyrics


You say I'm angry, I can't deny that it's burning at my nerves

But that's only the symptom

You say I'm searching, I tell you now that the things which I have found

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, I know

It's not a phase and it's not a stretch, I'd love rid myself this useless cage of 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 die

I am a lonely vessel, a candle in the night

Wander the hospital, subconscious farewell

Mem'ries and time fade, how long can broken ships sail?

Lies and lies from generations die

Yet I'm the only one who seems to question why we're here
