Abstraction (Metal Version)

[Verse 1: Caleb Hyles]
Every day it starts the same
We're called into the tent by Caine
To take part in some silly game
To keep our sanity
And though I know this world is strange
I won't allow myself to change
I try my best and work to save
My old humanity

[Pre-Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
Hey Pomni, come inside
We've got a wild ride
Hey, look
Your shoe's untied
Very funny
I'll pass on this adventure
Are you sure?
Yeah! Can't you see?

[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
I don't need your dumb distractions
I'm no abstraction
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
You won't get the satisfaction
I'm no abstraction, no

[Verse 2: Caleb Hyles]
Every day it starts the same
I get a taste of where I came from
But I can't recall my name
Or any other thing about me!
Every time I start to crack
My friends are there to get my back
We're like a house of cards, in fact
I know they'd fall apart without me

[Pre-Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
Hey, Pomni, you okay?
You looking rough today
Well, that's so nice to say
Geez, sorry
I stare into the mirror
And repeat
Till I believe

[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
I don't need your dumb distractions
I'm no abstraction
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
You won't get the satisfaction
I'm no abstraction, no

[Bridge: Caleb Hyles, KittenSneeze, Both]
I cannot eat, I cannot sleep
I have a mouth, but I can't scream
Loud enough to change the scenery
Inside of this machinery
A polygonal prison made of one and zero digits
And I wonder if that's all I am
This form that I've been given
Or my mind is in a coma
And this nightmare will preserve it
Maybe this is all a test<
Maybe somehow I deserve it
And these thoughts
That fly inside my head
I'm filled with existential dread
That's why I lie awake in bed
And stay up wishing I was dead

[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
But I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
I don't need your dumb distractions
I'm no abstraction
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
You won't get the satisfaction
I'm no abstraction, no
