​nihilist blues

[Verse 1: Christoph Wieczorek]
I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling
But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door
Buried in the basement floor, didn't know what I had planted
It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War

[Pre-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
I'm a spirit in a tomb
Won't somebody raise the roof
I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue
Do you mind if I'm exhumed?
I'm the ashes in the plume
I'm a beggar in the ruin
I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through
I'm only lonely for the true

[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek]
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are all lost in a labyrinth
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are all lost in a labyrinth
Please, don't follow
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are all lost in a labyrinth
Please, don't follow

[Breakdown: Dave Grunewald]
I sink to the floor

[Verse 2: Dave Grunewald]
You were in my dream last night, but your face was someone else's
A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder
Isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience
You march in the dark, little lamb to the slaughter

[Pre-Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
I'm a spirit in a tomb
Won't somebody raise the roof
I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue
Do you mind if I'm exhumed?
I'm the ashes in the plume
I'm a beggar in the ruin
I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through
I'm only lonely for the true

[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are all lost in a labyrinth
Please, don't follow
Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out
I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are all lost in a labyrinth
Please, don't follow
Please, don't follow
Please, don't follow (No)
Please, don't follow
Please, don't follow
Please, don't follow

[Outro: Dave Grunewald]
I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling
But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door
