I've been chewing
And I've been sweating
And I've been betting on
That I am forgetting on
And I've been having
Moments of panic
For no reason
That I can believe In
I've been sleeping
Upside down in the hall
That's if I'm even sleeping at all
And I've been dreaming 'bout
Telepathic freaking out
I've been sleeping like shit
But I don't want to smoke
I don't want to smoke
I've been feeling
Like I've been stressing out
And I've been fiending
Like a rubber band that's stretching out
You could bend me
But you could snap me
And I could fly into space
For an eternity
But I don't want to smoke
I don't want to smoke
And I never wanted to change
So bad that I would rearrange
The structure of things in my brain
But I did and it feels so strange
And I feel like I'm going insane
I'm going insane
I've been speaking
With astral beings
That aren't there for
Everybody's seeing
And they've been tellin' me
That I'm a casualty
To a life of illusion and uncertainty
