lyrics
Desperate, lost, no going back,
A dream state out of place, corrupted memory, can't erase.
Menacing, arcane, reluctant fate,
A cryptic voice in the dark pressing, urging to embark.
Useless function blinded by fear,
State of panic, terror wrought, you cannot find what's never sought.
Desolate, toxic, forsaken rule,
A judgment passed, handed down, a ring of barbs, a savage crown.
It's in my head,
It's in my head,
It's in my head,
It's in my head now.
...
Paradise lost, a hidden lie,
A fatal flaw, a cruel joke, a breath of air in a cloud of smoke.
Addiction, defeat, spiraling down,
Light recedes as shadows grow, a warm embrace in the frozen snow.
Perception fractured, sky comes undone,
The demon smiles, the earth cracks, a kingdom falls without attack.
Empty future, there's no escape,
A waking nightmare never ends, spellbound resolve that never bends.
It's in my head,
It's in my head,
It's in my head,
It's in my head now.
...
