Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream

Lyrics

[Intro] (Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Don't know what they want, but know if I don't give it, they'll hate me Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Keep the gate halfway so they aren't waiting ...Yeah alright, let's go.) [Chorus] Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Don't know what they want, but know if I don't give it, they'll hate me Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Keep the gate half-agape so they aren't waiting Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream The addict will always find a way to hit the bloodstream Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Disallow the delay so they might catch the slipstream [Verse 1] The egophile bites his reflection With no regard for how much hе can chew The mirror spotless needs much upkeep But thеre's only so much one can do Fork and knife, armed at the ready Bottle of blood-red wine. Glass, his last meal Audience enthralled at the thought of knowing Just how choking on ambition feels Let's see how long this takes to heal [Verse 2] Oh, he wants to run and hide But the door's left open wide Thousands wait behind with bright eyes And push against the fence wire And so, out of fear they might come in He puts up the screen again Same old walls of see-through dins Just praying they don't realise The clown dons his disguise [Chorus] It's all a Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Thread extends back around forgotten joinings Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Keep the needle well-weaved, enveloping the seams Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Pitch Fork in hand, I demand my dose of morphine Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Stitching a broken man, strand by strand Each blotch unseen [Verse 3] An idea lonesome is nothing To gain its value, it needs something more Perception maketh worth And all they seem to want is to be so adored Make each step, quickly, roughly Carve a path atop the swamp of zeal Feed these dopaminergic habits till he Loses how it feels to feel If all is well then nothing's real [Verse 4] On the deadline that he made He'll walk up on stage and say "Hey, guys Wait! Don't go No, please stay! I wrote a new refrain." And yet, he'll watch on as crowds all shift In and out, they'll pile and sift Same old story, same old bullshit "I wrote some brand new lyrics - And they go like this:" [Bridge] But sooner or later, all things change And I can't help wonder what will be exchanged I'm still unsure if I can wait long enough to see that day Heaven and Hell, you'll get your turn But until then, I'll let this burn: The effigy of what I'm "meant" to learn The seamstress of time will not unwind And so, the call's mine alone to find my way Through the open doors of fate [Chorus] 'Cos it's a Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream God only knows where this diagnosis takes me Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream Each new crossroads shows what it means to be crazy Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream They don't know what they want, but they know they want it quickly Patchwork Doorstop Paranoia Daydream What a shame, it's my role and I'll play it Slow as needed, perfect speed for a Nightmare in the shape of a daydream
