Is it any surprise I feel listless When I see strange lights and hear whispers The beings always seem to have something to discuss And it's tough to predict if it'll be disgusting Sometimes they point me the right way A lifesaver but too unreliable to be called my saviour No one around me can hear them or see them or feel them all breathing Appearing to me disappearing as easily Here when I need them and here when I don't A relief and a fear to me Seeing the ghosts of deceased who were near to me Leave for the coast bringing grief and a tear with me Seeking reprieve from the fury that's jeering me But it seems that they're deemed to be here with me Real as the me that I see in the mirror Every minute, every week, every year 'til infinity All that we see and hear and feel is real As long as we believe it's real 'Til our walls come crumbling down Everything is real I don't know whether you might know this But back then we didn't do diagnosis We were too blinded by our views to quite notice The difference between demons and true psychosis So those most prone to it you might know Were left to float on their own through the gloom like Moses Eschewed by those that should have stood by closest To comply with the group who never knew my motive Who knows what induced it, was it through mitosis Trauma, eating funny mushrooms in too high doses Giving you mycosis? Wish I knew why floating In my supine boat. Roam alone but in two minds rowing Reciting the poems that I knew by rote And now the moonlight glow gives a new bright hope I never lose my focus 'Til I've opened up my mind showing you my opus All that we see and hear and feel is real As long as we believe it's real 'Til our walls come crumbling down Everything is real The furies fume in the eerie gloom Whispering that the darkness will be here with me soon It must be real, I can feel the abuse Feel it breathing on my shoulder round my neck like a noose It's no delusion, no effect I've produced No confusion, no illusion, there's a threat on the loose They're always with me, Lord forgive me Give me the fortitude to force secure the doors of misery I'm falling quickly more than simply sickly This is something dormant that was borne within me Forming in my thoughts, I'm in deep But I've learned to live with it And I urge you to purge your prejudice That led you to spurn and reject me Just because of hurtful ignorance Picture it, the pict who never picked her deck Picking up the pieces of her past and repositioning it Listen to my voice as if you're listening to voices in your head And pick a different choice instead All that we see and hear and feel is real As long as we believe it's real 'Til our walls come crumbling down Everything is real That we see and hear and feel is real As long as we believe it's real 'Til our walls come crumbling down Everything is real
