Dead Silent, Milo Simpson - Stream Of Consciousness lyrics

Paint it black and white
The world can only see in gray
Can only see in certain shades
Can only blur out half the page
When looking through a filtered lens
The road is narrow, doesn't bend
Doesn't allow the light to blend
Into the dark we comprehend
Give me some time to spill
My thoughts into this pen
But I no longer feel the urge to vent
The message never clicks when
I open my mouthpiece
I don't know how to piece together
Proper sentences without being a prick
Give me some of your mind, let me see it raw
Open up, show me the world as you
See before it's gone
Your state of mind's the only
Thing reality can draw
Someone challenge me for once so I
Don't need to think I'm wrong
Or smoke yourself into a
State of feeling gone
There's no harm in wasting life
Right? We're only getting one
Whether you believe in something
People think is wrong
There's so much time we have to
Lose and it controls us all
Maybe I just need to sleep
Close my eyes and clear my head
Soon as my body hit's the
Bed I'll feel refreshed
Tomorrow night I'll write and
Throw it out again
I'll type out everything I want
To say but never send
Every thought's a head rush
That ran through me
Loneliness is planting a seed
And slowly blooming
Can't tell if my mind is
Trapped alone without a roomie
Or if the voices in my head
Are there and always looming
Always feel I'm living at the edge of sanity
Could never stand the man I see
When I look through my vanity
Drowning in the ocean of my brainwaves
Drifting from the coast
Set afloat when I was age eight
Check the rain gauge, it's late May
Thoughts spilling out over the gateway
So make way
These revelations have no explanation
I'm just told that miracles
Happen in strange ways
Why do I feel tormented to find the truth?
Why am I sore trying to
Piece together beliefs people assume
Why do all these people contradict
Me in the room?
If we're all meant to live in peace
Why give us separate tombs?
If we're diseased why can't
You make us immune?
If freedom's what you gave me
Why do I feel doomed?
Even the smartest of us end of confused
So why provide us with a life
That time can only consume?
Time is just a word
A working concept in our minds
The false reality that catches up
With us but never chimes
Our time is limited
But in the back of minds diminishes
And slowly finishes our lives
Fighting us to finish right
Time ticks, so what is worth the risk?
A thought that passes through my
Mind but never sticks
If stupidity is beautiful then
Why do I exist? If ignorance is bliss
Knowledge is lost in the mist
Why do I work but never get anything done?
Every time I ask for guidance
I'm led further in this dump
Why do I feel wrong for wanting
My life to be fun? Why else would you put me
Here and keep me numb?
I'm done searching, and waiting for a man
To give me answers to the
Questions only you can understand
Why is pain and suffering all
Part of your plan?
How can others say they feel your presence
But I can't? I guess I'll wait
But what if by then it's too late?
Tried to walk a mile in your
Shoes but tripped over the shoelace
Cause everybody close to me has
Already started to lose faith
So if I died and went to hell
At least I’d have a roommate
Life is more than following another
Rule that you made
I'm growing impatient with the amount
Of time that you take
I hate my doubt, I never wanted to lose faith
But I'm just reaching out and taking part
In the games that you play
