"Abstraction (60's Version)" lyrics
(originally by KittenSneeze)
Every day, it starts the same
We're called into the tent by Caine
To take part in some silly game to keep our sanity
And though I know this world is strange
I won't allow myself to change
I try my best and work to save
My old humanity
Hey Pomni, come inside
We've got a wild ride
Hey, look, your shoe's untied!
Very funny
I'll pass on this adventure
Are you sure?
Yeah, can't you see?
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
I don't need your dumb distractions
I'm no abstraction
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
You won't get the satisfaction
I'm no abstraction
No
Every day, it starts the same
I get a taste of where I came from
But I can't recall my name
Or any other thing about me
Every time I start to crack
My friends are there to get my back
We're like a house of cards, in fact
I know they'd fall apart without me
Hey, Pomni, you okay?
You're looking rough today
Wow, that's so nice to say
Oh wait, sorry
I stare into the mirror and repeat 'til I believe—
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
I don't need your dumb distractions
I'm no abstraction
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
You won't get the satisfaction
I'm no abstraction
No
Oh, Pom, can't you see that we are your new family?
We will keep you sane and strong
If you break, don't let it start to shake
There's more that you can take
So, please, don't let me be wrong
Every day and every night, it all turns out the same
So why waste time with friends and play
When I can escape a different way?
I cannot eat, I cannot sleep
I have a mouth, but I can't scream
Loud enough to change the scenery
Inside of this machinery
A polygonal prison
Made of one and zero digits
And I wonder if that's all I am
This form that I've been given
Or my mind is in a coma
And this nightmare will preserve it
Maybe this is all a test and
Maybe somehow I deserve it
And these thoughts that fly inside my head
I'm filled with existential dread
That's why I lie awake in bed
And stay up wishing I was dead
But I'm fine, I won't lose my mind
I don't need your dumb distractions
I'm no abstraction
I'm fine
I won't lose my mind
I don't need your dumb distractions
I won't lose my mind
You won't get the satisfaction
I'm no abstraction
No
We're called into the tent by Caine

And though I know this world is strange

Hey, look, your shoe's untied!
