What a wonderful hesitation
Who would bear to feel sorry for me
Dropped another pill just to calm me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
There I was drifting
Way out into the sunshine
Expecting to crash but I’m tied to a string
Look at me I’m a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I’m sure can survive
Find myself awake counting sad days
One, two, three that’s too many for me
Dropped another pill just to find me
Reached for my hand but it was already there
Then I started believin’
That I fell out of a tiny raindrop
That lost its way when I decided to roam
Chasing me was a hungry dweller
But I had escaped it by pretending to die
Come follow me you won’t expect the illusion
You’ll see it’s my imagination
Hand me your eyes
I will put them in front of mine
You’ll see a little better
You’ll see a little better
What a wonderful destination
Where I am now
I can no longer see
Dropped another pill just to kill me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
There I was drifting
Way out into the sunshine
Expecting to crash but I’m tied to a string
Look at me I’m a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I’m sure can survive
But I had escaped it by pretending to die
