There are these gremlins A fleet of them Millions Conspiring inside my head They want to trap me With systems collapsing Around the mistakes I've made This opposition has ruled my ambition To flee from this crushing fate From my decisions And futile condition Away from this game I play Why do I gravitate towards one thing more than any other? If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend That everything I am running from won't catch me in the end But still the cataclysmic fissure is near Hold your breath till it's all over, maybe we'll be here I can't hide from the damage that's been done But I can try to release myself and run. I try to face them And try to erase them And banish them from my head They come in tidal waves Earthquakes And hurricanes All of the things I dread All my addictions And other afflictions Calamity up ahead! What to protect me? No signs to direct me Away from the life I've lead Why do I gravitate towards one thing more than any other? If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend That everything I am running from won't catch me in the end But still the cataclysmic fissure is near Hold your breath till it's all over, maybe we'll be here If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend That everything I am running from won't catch me in the end But still the cataclysmic fissure is near Hold your breath till it's all over, maybe we'll be here
