[Verse 1]
Bm Am
I sank down the plane of delusion
Bm
It's vast expanses mocked my advances, and bid me,
D Am
“Oh fragile mind, you will learn how to fracture.”
Bm D Am
Scrawled across the walls the suffering saint cries out,
Bm D Bm Am
“Is it madness to retreat from the myopic gaze that holds us captive?"
[Chorus]
Bm Am Bm D
Follow me, I'll take you to the edge of reason
Bm Am Bm Am
Fall with me, we'll make a home in our delusion
D Am D Am
I split my mind ten thousand times, but in every world there's no exit
Bm Am
No exit.
[Post-chorus 1]
Bm D Bm Am D
No madness in a dream - no walls surround me to keep me safe
Am B
The straight line you draw for me:
Am Bm
So perfect, so pure.
Bm D
Untie me from reality
Am B Bm B
When every word is falling from your mouth, don't let it become your escape.
[Verse 2]
Bm Am Bm Am
Make an escape from the monolith; scale the lies of material despondency
Bm D Am Bm D
I waited on the tracks of reason, but my train of thought it never came, it never came.
[Post-chorus 2]
Am B
The straight line you draw for me:
Am Bm D
So perfect, so pure; so perfect, so pure.
[Bridge]
Bm Am
I'd change the world but I can't change myself.
D
I saw you shout at the shadows.
Bm Am
I'd change the world but I'm chained to myself.
D
Define paranoia
[Chorus]
Bm Am Bm D
Follow me, I'll take you to the edge of reason
Bm Am Bm
Fall with me… but could the lips of God grace a withered fruit?
