Slow down time with the turn of a dial
Settle down on this cold wet tile
Pour my thoughts into thousands of vials
One by one, synthesize for a while
One by one by one
Well I've been here before
Explored all the cracks in the floors
As familiar now as the back of my hand
And I'll be here again
Learn how to be free and not just pretend to be
What could be more real than this
My mirrors face each other so I can't pull no tricks
One by one by one
They go down, down, down the drain
Oh I've seen it all
Carve reminders deep into my skin
As it dries and the ink sets in
I feel something escape from within
I'm paralyzed but my head is still spinning
And I'm drifting softly in and out
A chain of thoughts so tightly wound
In between and all around
While I wander, I wonder...
What could be more real than this
My mirrors face each other so I can't pull no tricks
One by one by one
They go down, down, down the drain
We're all insane
One by one by one
And I'm drifting softly in and out
A chain of thoughts so tightly wound
In between and all around
While I, while I, while I...
I wonder what could be more real than this
My mirrors face each other so I can't pull no tricks
One by one by one
They go down, down, down the drain
