"The Grand Delusion" lyrics

"The Grand Delusion"

I'm coming to the conclusion
I think I would rather be
Anyone else but me

This straitjacket chokes me up and digs in
This tightrope is swaying in the wind
And it's a long way down
No way out of this alive
Oh it's a long way down
When the tension gives out
'Cause that's when I snap
And that's how I'm feeling now

Oh my head, tripped and fell too hard again
Lost myself, lost myself in the nervous wreck
I'm coming to the conclusion
I think I would rather be
Anyone else but me

This dissonance blurs the lines
And fucks with my symmetry
I'm one twisted butterfly
I will never be quite good enough
And I'm holding on so I don't come undone
But I feel like giving up

Oh my head, tripped and fell too hard again
Lost myself, lost myself in the nervous wreck
I'm coming to the conclusion
I think I would rather be
Anyone else but me

All eyes on me
But that's not reality
'Cause my mind plays tricks on me
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
Crawling up the walls
Caving as they're caving in
Claustrophobic in my own skin
From holding it all in

Oh my head, tripped and fell too hard again
Lost myself, lost myself in the nervous wreck
I'm coming to the conclusion
I think I would rather be
Whoa! I, I think I'd rather be
Anyone else but me
Anyone else but me
