Eyedea, DJ Abilities - The Dive (a) lyrics

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 limit's
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

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 you're 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


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

And with each foot you fall
The voice in your head starts to
Sound more and more like yours
