Knuckle Puck - Conduit lyrics

I had that dream again
Grinding teeth through an absent head
Losing control again to forget is to be calm
By passing broken fingers
Through aching palms you will awake again

If all you are is under the surface
Then why is it so hard to be a conduit?

"I went lucid, " she said
Tried every minute of
My waking unconsciousness to start again
But the man in the doorway
He always had better plans
'Cause an idle mind is the
Fault of idle hands
And you can't break the boy
To forge a better man

If all you are is under the surface
Then why is it so hard to be a conduit?
If all you are is under the surface
Then why is it so hard to be a conduit?
If all you are is under the surface
Then why is it so hard to be a conduit?
Chalk it up to cognitive dissonance
I am aware and I will remember this
If all you are is under the surface
Then why is it so hard to be a conduit?
