Lyrics

Friik

[Verse 1]

What’s my problem, here’s my problem

My problem is that I’m too visual to be blind

Too audiological to be deaf, too ideological to be in peace

Too compassionate to be in war, too crazy to be sane

Too sane to be lazy, too emotional to be you

[Pre-Chorus]

If I could only stop my head

From going into constant infection

Then maybe I could swim back

To my own version of consistent sanity

Angelic demons, liquid dreams

Transparent mountains of our own reality

[Chorus]

Burning oceans, melting faces

Melting faces, why?

[Pre-Chorus]

If I could only stop my head

From going into constant infection

Then maybe I could swim back

To my own version of consistent sanity

Angelic demons, liquid dreams

Transparent mountains of our own reality

[Chorus]

Burning oceans, melting faces

Melting faces, why?

Lying Glaciers, swimming Meadows

Mind control

[Bridge]

Amnesia! Hysteria! Insomnia!

Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t shit

Cause you’re in the hospital and they’re fucking

Why!?

[Chorus]

Burning oceans, melting faces

Melting faces, why?

Flying Glaciers! Swimming Meadows!

Mind control

[Outro]

Maybe my mind’s not at all in control

Maybe I’m not in control
