Are you looking at me?
It's hard to tell
I keep forgetting to breathe
I'm in the physical realm
I never noticed her leave
But I guess you'll do as well
So symptomatic of me
Another chemical spell
I'm in the physical realm
I'm in the physical realm
I'm like a fish in the sea
Hope I remember it well
Another ego to feed
Another image to sell
Is it dogmatic of me
To have a story to tell?
I'm in the physical realm
I'm in the physical realm
I'm like a fucking disease
You're like a chemical smell
I'm on a sonic trapeze
Above a spiritual well
On a tightrope of sound
My head keeps spinning around
Like a white hope I've found
Not what I thought it would be
Can't say you're nothing to me
I'll cut the ropes that hold me
Tell 'em that the dope they sold me brought me down

Institutionalised

She's seventeen, a libertine, if only
I promised her I'd call her from inside
She's plasticine, a rash to me and she owns me
Whoever said that's afraid of the facts and the lies
An odyssey from you to me, an omen
A magic so black it cracks and explodes in your eyes
"Break on through," a brave man said, if only
I prefer the words of a shaman: "I'm alive"
I'm alive, institutionalised
So you think it makes you right
If you leap into the fight with a hard-on
Man it only proves that you're asking
To get fucked from behind
And if you think they're trying to cheat you now
When all they want are the smart bonds
Ah man you'd be a sucker to join 'em
When the guns are fired
So arise, institutionalised

Drop of Rain

Every little drop of rain
is keeping me from the fire warning
and I swore never to walk through the place
where the garden was razed
Every little step I take
is keeping me from the fine morning
when I'll wake knowing what lies
in the time become lines on her face
And it's another morning on the way
Can't keep from falling - run away
Help me through another day
Help me still the wild yearning
to cross back over the line
to a time I can never replace
How could I have touched the flame?
How to stop the fire burning?
How bring back all that was lost
when the flood broke and shattered the gates?
And it's another dawning gone today
No sense in mourning - it's gone away
It's gonna rain
It's gotta rain
