##Voice 1: WorldPatternz ## [Verse 1] Started with giggles, colors bright and new But something's shifting, can't tell what's true Thoughts a-a-accelerating, can't slow them down Smiles turn to worry, joy starts to drown The walls ain't just breathing, they're cl-cl-closing in tight What was beautiful now fills me with fright Time stretching forever, seconds like days Lost in my mind's ever-darkening maze *(Background vocals: "darkening maze... darkening maze...")* ## [Hook] I-I-I just wanna come back, find my way h-home *(Background vocals: "find your way back")* Trapped in my head and I'm f-f-feeling alone This wasn't the jou-journey I signed up to take *(Background vocals: "not what I wanted")* How m-many hours until I awake? ★ ## [Verse 2] My heartbeat's pounding through my chest like drums Anxiety rising as the dar-darkness comes ★ Thought I knew myself until these depths I saw Inner demons circling, teeth and claw Friends' faces morphing, can't recognize who's who Their words sound si-sinister, though I know that's not true Paranoia whispering lies in my ear "They're laughing at you," is all that I hear *(Background vocals: "all in your head... all in your head...")* ## [Verse 3] Can't escape the lo-lo-loop of negative thought ★ Regretting decisions that can't be unfought The ceiling is watching, ju-ju-judging my sins As memory fragments spin like wind I'm begging time to move fa-fa-faster somehow Promising anything to end this right now What was four hours feels like for-forty years ★ As I battle shadows and confront my fears *(Background vocals: "shadows and fears... shadows and fears...")* ## [Bridge] They say challenging trips can teach you the most But right now I'm ha-ha-haunted by my personal ghosts Desperately grounding, counting each breath *(Background vocals: "just breathe... just breathe...")* This psychological space feels like near-death Hold on to s-something real, this will pass Though eternity lives in each moment, alas Remember the mantra: "Th-this isn't forever" ★ Through the storm of my mind, just hold it together ## [Hook] I-I-I just wanna come back, find my way h-home *(Background vocals: "find your way back")* Trapped in my head and I'm fee-feeling alone This wasn't the j-j-journey I signed up to take ★ *(Background vocals: "not what I wanted")* How m-m-many hours until I awake? ## [Outro] The light's still there somewhere beyond the dark clouds Though my thoughts keep sc-scr-screaming, intense and loud Maybe tomorrow I'll make sense of tonight ★ But now I'm just fighting to see any light *(Background vocals: "see the light... see the light...")* Next time I'll respect the pow-power they hold These teachers aren't gentle when lessons unfold Through terror and beauty, the m-m-m-mushroom reveals ★ The shadows within that daylight conceals *(Background vocals: "shadows within... shadows within...")*
