Fiction

Nothing good comes from dreams in the day
I wait for night
I fear the madness inside
But help is never on the way
I wait for night

The lies and fiction
A contradiction
The truth
It waited long enough
Lies and delusions
Trapped in my confusion
Waking up, and taking stock
Of all I’ve done

On the brink
Let’s break this up
And let’s pretend that it’s all real
I’ve only got your word you fixed me up
But I don’t feel any better

Awake with a fright
It’s dark as I clutch at my throat
Drowning in spite of it all
Just send me home

The lies and fiction
A contradiction
The truth
It waited long enough
Lies and delusions
Trapped in my confusion
Waking up, and taking stock
Of all I’ve done

Face the facts and look
At what the doctor made of you

Blinded by light
It hurts that I can’t know
I’ll give up this fight
Send the ghost of what I was home

The lies and fiction
A contradiction
The truth
It waited long enough
Lies and delusions
Trapped in my confusion
Waking up, and taking stock
Of all I’ve done

We gonna go the distance
Throw assistance out without a trace
Got to start off, cut my arm off
Cut my nose to spite my face
Need to walk out and become the man
The way I used to be
No time to talk
Hey Doc, it’s my turn
When you gonna get to me?

On the brink
Let’s break this up
And let’s pretend that it’s all real
I’ve only got your word you fixed me up
But I don’t feel any better

The lies and fiction
A contradiction
The truth
It waited long enough
Lies and delusions
Trapped in my confusion
Waking up, and taking stock
Of all I’ve done
