Prism

(album: Heavy Glow - 2021)

The world is speeding past me
Over-caffeinated, crashing into things that'll never last

And all my self created symptoms
Always searching for a reason, why I'm stuck living in the past
I can't sing through a heart attack

The more that I follow, the passages deep inside my head
It's harder to swallow, just looking for some comfort in the dread

I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind
I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening
I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide
Pushing black and white into a prism of light

Oh, my life is glazed in roses
But my mind is straight neurosis
Why do we hide in the bitter pills
Waiting to find the strawberry fields

The more that I follow, the passages deep inside my head
It's harder to swallow, just looking for some comfort in the dread

I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind
I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening
I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide
Pushing black and white into a prism of light
I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind

I've been dreaming for so long in black and white
Trying to dodge the headlights and read between the lines
Find some secret code I couldn't see
A miracle to set me free
Just praying that it's all in my head

I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind
I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening
I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide
Pushing black and white into a prism of light
