What A Trip

**Title: What a Trip** **Verse 1** Dancing on the edge of my wildest dreams Sleepwalking while I’m wide awake, caught in between Can’t tell what’s real or fake in this neon haze Mirror on the wall shows a stranger’s face Standing naked in the mid-day sun Burning up with all the things I’m scared to become Every heartbeat’s like a siren’s scream Running through the static of another daydream **Pre-Chorus** Is this one of those things that’s moving way too fast? Blink and every moment’s just a ghost in the past I’m reaching for the brakes but they’re not there Spinning through the silence of the midnight air **Chorus** Now I’m running as fast as I can Chasing shadows, losing track of who I am Waiting for the night to come and set me free From this technicolor, twisted, wired-up fantasy My reality is starting to slip Oh shit, what a trip Round and round we go, and the madness grows Where we stop, who really knows? My reality is starting to slip Oh shit, what a trip **Verse 2** Painted on a smile like a paper mask Talking to myself, but I’m scared to ask If I’m the only one who feels this torn Caught between the thunder and a perfect storm Every streetlight’s like a UFO Every heartbeat’s echo is a stereo I swear I hear the universe hum my name But I don’t know if I’m awake or in a game **Pre-Chorus** Is this one of those rides that never lets you off? Screaming in the wind, but it just sounds soft I’m clinging to the edge of a closing door Falling through the cracks in the bedroom floor **Chorus** Now I’m running as fast as I can Chasing shadows, losing track of who I am Waiting for the night to come and set me free From this technicolor, twisted, wired-up fantasy My reality is starting to slip Oh shit, what a trip Round and round we go, and the madness grows Where we stop, who really knows? My reality is starting to slip Oh shit, what a trip **Bridge** Upside down on a carousel sky Stars spell out every question “why” If I let go, will I crash or fly? Guess I’ll never know until I try In slow motion but my pulse is loud Alone in the center of a faceless crowd If this is the edge of my mind, my soul Maybe losing control is how I get control **Breakdown** Dancing on the edge, I’m not coming down Head in the clouds, feet off the ground Staring at the sun till my fears turn gold Burning up the lies that I’ve always been told **Chorus** Now I’m running as fast as I can Chasing shadows, re-defining who I am Waiting for the night to come and set me free From this technicolor, twisted, wired-up fantasy My reality is starting to slip Oh shit, what a trip Round and round we go, and the madness grows Where we stop, who really knows? My reality is starting to slip Oh shit, what a trip If the world lets go of me, I won’t quit Ride the fall and call it it— Oh shit, what a trip
