Strange Hallucinations

from It's a Lot Better With The Sound Off by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

I've been having these strange hallucinations
I've been hearing these odd vibrations
And mirrors they don't look the same to me.
Reflections as far as the eye can see.
I can't remember but I know I won't forget
I'm the painted jester with a broken head.
And I don't know when I'm coming home again
Cause these steeples that pierce the sky they look different.

And I just can't deal with all this change
From stranger to lover to stranger again.
Would you even care if you never saw my face again?

The kid next door is always screaming about salvation
He cries to the sky thinking that the clouds will save him
But me I'm always lost in bitter confusion
Never knowing which lie to give into.
And I wander in circles afraid of which thought is next
I take these pills to try and untwist my head.
But nothing good ever comes out of it.
So I lay down and try to rest.

But then a shape on the ceiling begins to catch my eye
What a beautiful to remember what life was like
Before growing up killed you with the truth.
