Overactive imagination is the first track from Individual Thought Patterns, Death’s fifth album, and it is about people who live their lives trying to be someone they’re not.
[Verse 1]
Your existence is a script
Life for you is a performance
Play out the leading role
Directing and premeditating every move
That creates the act of manipulation
[Chorus]
Mastering the art of deception
That increases your sick addiction
It's an overactive imagination
That enslaves your empty shell
[Guitar Solo: Chuck Schuldiner]
[Bridge]
Existing in dimensions of addictive obsession
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Verse 2]
Your script will run short of ideas
The story will soon end itself
People to trust come short in number
Like a plague your lies spread
Fast across the world
[Chorus]
Mastering the art of deception
That increases your sick addiction
It's an overactive imagination
That enslaves your empty shell
