The Dive (a) Lyrics - Eyedea

It starts out with a question. How much of it is real? 

The skepticism sets in, and lessens your appeal 

Next, you study conspiracy, develop some theories 

And become extra wary of all your previous learned material 

Your tolerence for stupidity degrades 

Most of your friends seem to be trapped in the maze 

You narrow your associates down to the few you can stand 

And even they sometimes wonder what's going on in that head of yours 

You study east and western philosophy, psychology, physics 

You think a lot more, and start to question existence 

You wonder about your nervous system's limits 

You tamper with reality maps, and then ask hallucinogenic induced 

"Who am I's? What am I? Am I forever?" 

All information breathes in the shallow dark hells of never 

You can see where it's leading. You wish you were dreaming 

If the castle crumbles no one's there to put it back together 

[Chorus] 

Have you ever felt yourself slippin' away? 

Where all you think about's your sanity, and how it decayed? 

There's no place to run, no place to hide 

You can't escape from inside, and you're losing your mind 

You try to think of when it started, and ask yourself why 

But each thought deepens the sickness and completes the desert dry 

Fear feeds the derangement of the inner eye 

With nothing left you find yourself falling to madness so you... 

... cry to your god, and act normal to your peers 

What if God ain't hearing you? That's your only fear 

Each day you think more about your psychosis 

No one but you can help you, and you know this 

That's the craziest part of it all 

In your rational mind, you only know two things for sure 

One is that your totally nuts 

And the other is that you're the only one with the cure 

It doesn't make sense, it's not how you imagined 

You never knew it could just happen 

You thought it came from stress, suicide, a near death experience 

War, drug trips, low pay ,carelessness 

You've heard plenty of stories about schizophrenia 

But never had evidence of one who thought himself mad 

You're going crazy, and desperately reachin' for reason 

But the strain to stay sane's your only demon; best believe it 

[Chorus] 

You finally realize that you've always lived in hell 

No human model or metaphor can explain how you fell 

The puzzle's alive, and it changes as you try to escape it 

It created time and made it appear to pass by 

You don't know what you think. You don't think what you know 

You're a total lunatic, and afraid it's starting to show 

Where do you go when your brain is your worst enemy? 

The six hundred and sixty six foot tall bridge on seventh street? 

You're scared. You're scared. Why are you so scared? 

There'd be no problem if you didn't care 

Now you've truly formed an opinion about heaven 

It starts out with a question, and this is what it ends in 

Now I know you've felt yourself slip away 

Now all you think about's your sanity, and how it decayed 

There's no place to run. No place to hide 

You can't escape the fact that you've lost your mind 

You can't erase your mistakes. There's no way to rewind 

The harder you look, the harder it is to find 

Fear feeds the derangement of the inner eye 

With nothing left you find yourself falling to madness, so you dive 

so you dive (repeated) 

And with each foot you fall 

the voice in your head starts to sound more and more like yours
