lyrics

misidentified like somebody lied from the outset
that's how it got hectic
perfected the madness method
without protection
sooner than projected
like feel the glory of the valedictorian
Jack Keuroac gassed up the Delorean
now we're on Com Sense time traveling
level up sucker no matter how challenging
talented at damaging your expectations
heavy doses of righteous indignation
your insinuations are flattering at best
fed by a wire with limited access
who's fooling who?
they're schooling you in the new ways
and you sway like grass with your backwards ass
first cause the last shall be that
just keep waiting to react

i exist so far outside of the lines
parallel realities sometimes
combine to confuse
obscured views
getting in tune to parallax blues

sloppy and cosmic at the same time
defined by the presence of diving enzymes on the inside
I'm atomic tonight
bright black apparatus stays on Doomsday status
terror via terrible threats
Cold War veteran mans the warm jets
try to put your head out before the redout
vampire types leave most folk bled out
follow if you wanna be hollow
I live today with the hope that I'll see tomorrow
all of us are on borrowed time anyway
order my steps to a slow decay
if so you might choose
all the young dudes
will fall into place and carry the news
I always hang in a buffalo stance
cause they'd use all of me if given the chance


i exist so far outside of the lines
parallel realities sometimes
combine to confuse
obscured views
getting in tune to parallax blues

the gravity of all of this holds me down
though it's more like hanging around
stranger on a train so we maintain distance
same destination written on both tickets
modern day human existence
minimal contact
everybody playing the witness
watch as I play dismissive of those types
watch me reach such great heights without them
couldn't give less of a damn about them
real recognizes I should always doubt them
faces in the crowd
locked to a cloud
maintain that ball and chain so proud
unnecessarily self-imposed evil
psychic feedback courtesy of Cerebro
maximum capacity for anybody with the audacity
to claim they'll escape the insanity


i exist so far outside of the lines
parallel realities sometimes
combine to confuse
obscured views
getting in tune to parallax blues
