Nihilist Blues

[Verse 1]

I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling

But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door

Buried in the basement floor, didn't know what I had planted

It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm a spirit in a tomb

Won't somebody raise the roof?

I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

I'm the ashes in the plume

I'm a beggar in the ruin

I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

I'm only lonely for the truth

[Chorus]

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we arе lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm tеrrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

[Bridge]

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

Sink to the floor, I sink to the floor

I sink to the floor

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

[Verse 2]

You were in my dream last night, but your face was someone else's

A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder

Isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience

You march in the dark, little lamb to the slaughter

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm a spirit in a tomb

Won't somebody raise the roof?

I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue

Do you mind if I'm exhumed?

I'm the ashes in the plume

I'm a beggar in the ruin

I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through

I'm only lonely for the truth

[Chorus]

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out

I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

Please, don't follow

[Outro]

I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling

But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door
