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
