Prism

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The world's speeding past me Over-caffeinated, crashing Into things that'll never last And all my self created symptoms Always searching for a reason Why I'm stuck living in the past I can't sing through a heart attack [Pre-Chorus] The more that I follow, the passages deep inside my head It's harder to swallow, just looking for some comfort in the dread [Chorus] I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide Pushing black and white into a prism of light [Drop] Trying to break out, t-trying to break out, I'm just— Trying to break out, I, I'm-where— Trying to break out, t-trying to break out, I'm just— Trying to break out, t-trying to break— [Verse 2] Oh, my life is glazed in roses But my mind is straight neurosis Why do we hide in the bitter pills Waiting to find the strawberry fields [Pre-Chorus] The more that I follow, the passages deep inside my head It's harder to swallow, just looking for some comfort in the dread [Chorus] I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide Pushing black and white into a prism of light [Drop] Trying to break out, t-trying to break out, I'm just— Trying to break out, I, I'm-where— I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind, I'm just— Trying to break out, t-trying to break out [Bridge] I've been dreaming for so long in black and white Trying to dodge the headlights and read between the lines Find some secret code I couldn't see, a miracle to set me free Just praying that it's all in my head I'm just— [Drop] Trying to break out, t-trying to break out, I'm just— Trying to break out, t-trying out—, I'm just— [Outro] I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening (I'm listening) I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide Pushing black and white into a prism of light
