“Operator” is a deep look inside Ben’s mind. Borderline paranoid schizophrenic, he clings to the Operator to keep him grounded and safe from his innermost nightmares.
[Intro]
Ooooo
Oooooo
Ahhh-Ahh-Ahhh
[Verse 1]
Hello Operator
Can you tell me how to find my way home?
I can't stay here
Anymore
Phones are buzzing like cicadas
Speakers blasting Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben
Every time I think of them
I pinch myself
[Intro]
Ooooo
Oooooo
Ahhh-Ahh-Ahhh
[Verse 2]
Hello Operator
Can you tell me which way I should go?
My signal's
Fading low
I'm searchin' 'round for something stable
Leaning on furniture that crumbles underneath me when I shudder
And before my head hits the ground
I pinch myself
[Chorus]
I've never been one
To remember my dreams
And for that, I am grateful
'Cause if they are some reflection on reality
I'll pretend that it's peaceful
[Intro]
Ooooo
Oooooo
Ahhh-Ahh-Ahhh
[Verse 3]
Hello Operator
It's hard to say it
But I'll miss you when you go
I'll keep yelling into this
Broken phone, phone, phone, phone
[Bridge]
And when
My eyes are
Open wide
My retinas burn
From neon lights
Keep those hands
Away from me
The taste is overwhelmingly
Similar to the way
I feel inside
Similar to the way
I feel
Inside
Oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh
[Intro]
Ooooo
Oooooo
Ahhh-Ahh-Ahhh
[Chorus]
I've never been one
To remember my dreams
And for that, I am grateful
'Cause if they are some reflection on reality
I'll pretend that it's peaceful
I've never been one
To remember my dreams
And for that, I am grateful
'Cause if they are some reflection on reality
I'll pretend that it's peaceful
I've never been one
To remember my dreams
And for that, I am grateful
'Cause if they are some reflection on reality
I'll pretend that it's peaceful
I've never been one
To remember my dreams
And for that, I am grateful
'Cause if they are some reflection on reality
I'll pretend (that it's peaceful)
I'll pretend
I've never been one
To remember my dreams
And for that, I am grateful
'Cause if they are some reflection on reality
I'll pretend that it's peaceful
