lyrics

do you ever wake up from a daydream or a nap and wonder if the whole last few months have
been a delusion, a product from your mind so worn away by the endless cycles that it finally snapped
and you were left living this amazing dream? what if one day the damage disappeared,
would you be happy or stuck in the same old rut? are you in that rut right now?

and i don't care if i'm just part of an era as long as i don't know.
and i don't care if i'm a spoke on a wheel as long as i don't know.
i don't care if i'm in the same rut as always as long as no one tells me so
if no one tells me so, then i'll be fine.

has it ever occurred where you said a word or a phrase, and it set off an internal alarm like a bomb,
a product of a heart so torn apart, but the experience made sure you'd be okay,
and you were left living this amazing dream? a sunny old paradise it would seem,
and nobody cares if it's real or not 'cause it feels like a steal and i like it a lot

just let me live, just leave me be
don't feed me nothing from no tree
leave my heart inside this jar
