Abstraction (Big Band Version)

Every day, it starts the same We're called into the tent by Caine To take part in some silly game to keep our sanity And though I know this world is strange, I won't allow myself to change I try my best and work to save my old humanity Hey Pomni, come inside We've got a wild ride Hey, look, your shoe's untied Very funny, I'll pass on this adventure Are you sure? Yeah, can't you see? I'm fine (she's fine), I won't lose my mind I don't need your dumb distractions I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction) I'm fine (she's fine), I won't lose my mind You won't get the satisfaction I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction) No! Every day, it starts the same I get a taste of where I came from But I can't recall my name Or any other thing about me! Every time I start to crack My friends are there to get my back We're like a house of cards, in fact I know they'd fall apart without me Hey, Pomni, you okay? You're looking rough today Well, that's so nice to say Oh, wait, sorry! I stare into the mirror and repeat 'til I believe "I'm fine" (she's fine), "I won't lose my mind" I don't need your dumb distractions I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction) I'm fine (she's fine), I won't lose my mind You won't get the satisfaction I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction) No! Oh, Pom, can't you see that we are your new family? We will keep you sane and strong If you break, don't let it start to shake There's more that you can take So, please, don't let me be wrong! Every day and every night (Pomni) It all turns out the same! (Stay calm) So why waste time with friends to play (Pomni) When I can escape a different way? (Stay calm) I cannot eat, I cannot sleep I have a mouth, but I can't scream Loud enough to change the scenery inside of this machinery A polygonal prison, made of one and zero digits And I wonder if that's all I am This form that I've been given Or my mind is in a coma, and this nightmare will preserve it Maybe this is all a test And, maybe somehow I deserve it And t-t-thoughts, that fly inside my head I'm f-filled with existential d-dread-d! That's why I lie awake in bed-ed! And stay up wishing I was d-dead But I'm fine I won't lose my mind I don't need your dumb distractions I'm no abstraction I'm fine (she's fine) I won't lose my mind You won't get the satisfaction I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction) No! Oh-oh-oh, oh! (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
