[Verse 1]
Persistent mist that faults my vision
Psycho-exist point of collision
It's raining in my cranium
My head feels like a stadium
[Verse 2]
Three pound of grey about to burst
Inside my three pound universe
It's raining in my cranium
My head feels like a stadium
[Chorus]
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
[Verse 3]
Symbols I've been given to express my goal
Always come up short, you know they just don't get that low
It's raining in my cranium
My head feels like a stadium
[Chorus]
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
[Chorus]
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
[Outro]
Quick release chemicals strike with incomprehensible precision
Bio-organic electronics targeting microscopic destinations of devastation
Cleaner than light
Meaner than a laser fight in the night 2000
Billions of micro maniacs unknown to most
As the uncontrollable soldiers of suffering succotash
Instantaneous infiltration leaves me with a case of bus station frustration
Alone in the constellation of alienation detached from empty conversation
I wait
I wait
For the wave to break
Persistent mist that faults my vision
Psycho-exist point of collision
It's raining in my cranium
My head feels like a stadium
[Verse 2]
Three pound of grey about to burst
Inside my three pound universe
It's raining in my cranium
My head feels like a stadium
[Chorus]
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
[Verse 3]
Symbols I've been given to express my goal
Always come up short, you know they just don't get that low
It's raining in my cranium
My head feels like a stadium
[Chorus]
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
[Chorus]
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
These are the melancholy mechanics of my mind
[Outro]
Quick release chemicals strike with incomprehensible precision
Bio-organic electronics targeting microscopic destinations of devastation
Cleaner than light
Meaner than a laser fight in the night 2000
Billions of micro maniacs unknown to most
As the uncontrollable soldiers of suffering succotash
Instantaneous infiltration leaves me with a case of bus station frustration
Alone in the constellation of alienation detached from empty conversation
I wait
I wait
For the wave to break
