Nihilist Blues

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 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 truth Paradise is in my soul And I'm terrified I can't get out I'm lost in a labyrinth We are 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 lost in a labyrinth Please don't follow 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 lost in a labyrinth Please don't follow 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 I'm the ashes in the plume I'm a beggar in the room I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through I'm only lonely for the truth Paradise is in my soul And I'm terrified I can't get out I'm lost in a labyrinth We are 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 lost in a labyrinth Please don't follow Please don't follow Please don't follow I'm the ashes in the plume I'm a beggar in the room I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through I'm only lonely for the truth Please don't follow Please don't follow
