lyrics

I'm waiting for a wave to overflow my shore
I want a change of vibe, things are starting to get slow
People are always looking for salvation, even at the cost of their mind
They display their empty victories, they stop trying, they’d rather hide

Mr. Homo-sapien you’re just to scared to try and sing
So you try to hold me down cause you’re afraid that I might win
Bring them down to your level; another shallow victory
So you’d try to hold me down instead of trying to find and be

Hallucinations in the sky, spirits in my eye; why don’t you try?

Adolescence, it feels like a divorce
it’s got advantages but you miss the simple source
A puppet show of poetry; a sultry dance without a rule
We’re all waiting here downstairs, trying to keep it cool

Hallucinations in the sky, spirits in my eye; why don’t you try?
