lyrics

A therapist once told me
"Your anxious thoughts are synthetic--not a real part of you; but decieving in nature. Like wax fruit to real fruit; alarmingly similiar, except to those who take the time to taste
and notice subsequently
That the fruit is false.
Just a lesser version, of a riper realer product; that is true
and present".

And so...
This existential life
I've spent sitting at the basket
Sorting my fruits, and truths and lies.

Sorting truths and lies...

You came into this without permission
Got behind my line of defense vision;
like a purple milky scar
'Cross my face, my eyes, my tongue
A fleeting vision of myself
Must fight this war from inside out
Fighting back, with white and grey.

Fighting back with white and grey.
