lyrics

Wake me - to comfort me
Only got this voice to hold me
Hovering around this room, my listening skills down
Hate me, or marry me.
Throw away this weight or carry me
Get back in your body, or propel me around
Half me - to study me
Half left to collect, to muddy me
Bonify this life of sort of paying attention

Is it balance, is it food? Does it pin me down as crude?
I can't just allocate my thoughts; they're busy playing around
And will I wake up in a couple months and contemplate my death?
Surrounded only by my breath with my own voice still incoherent sound...

Speak now! You've captured me
Your ghost just staring has enraptured me
I'll speak for you to me to tell me what I can do
Some dude created me - Ventriloquistic exportated me
Meeting of the minds of him and her spectral vibe
Wake me - Be true to me
Solipsistic hands cut through to me
Action of distraction here to keep me alive

Is it balance, is it healthy? Can I rub it and get wealthy?
Will it drive my friends away or keep me here on my toes?
Is it what makes me intriguing? Is it what gives my life meaning?
If it sings will I stay happy? Do I get what it knows?

Fake me - and sing to me
Only got this voice to bring to me
Sure-fire entertainment that I label my life
Float me! Rejoice with me!
Come and gloat; you've got no choice with me
ADD or God or something here at my side
Taste me, and follow me
Parley what you will to hollow me
Sing a song in stasis and this voice will abide...
