Vile heat That unforgotten scene I don't belong here I'm lost in time
Intentional or not It feeds me what I fear I recognize what's happening and try to shake it clear But once I've seen the place Sometimes it will stay Certain shapes are just so strong they'll damage anyway
Chorus: When the mind's afloat I should know what's coming Thoughts go back to the past Things I'd rather leave Memories that haunt, hurt or shame All the same and more
Flashes of subjects I lament or hate Words that I've spoken or actions I've made
Randomize Or focused images The fog of chaos An astral wall
So why's it have to be The bad over the good Can't I just see the positive No, that takes conscious thought Or helpful triggering from elsewhere
Chorus
Even those that I've not taken part From other stories that left a mark
Relax and then await It will self-mutilate Rarely the happiness of life
