Don't Take A Trip On LSD

Verse 1

Don’t take a trip on LSD

The ceiling folds like wet concrete

Ashtray smoke turns into snakes

Every sentence bends and breaks

Sidewalk chewing on your shoes

Television humming blues

Somebody’s laughing down the hall

Though nobody is there at all

Pre-Chorus

You wanted more than ordinary nights

More than factories and traffic lights

Now your thoughts move out of line

Like tangled wires sparking blind

Chorus

Don’t take a trip on LSD

Your shadow won’t come home with me

The room expands, the floor goes thin

Something strange gets under your skin

Don’t take a trip on LSD

You might not like what you release

One small tab, one endless spin

A carnival beneath your ribs

Verse 2

Bathroom mirror growing teeth

Kitchen tiles begin to breathe

Every sound cuts through your head

Like insects crawling through the bed

Your friends dissolve into their coats

Words get trapped inside your throat

Time drips slowly from the fan

Nothing stays the way it began

Pre-Chorus

You were hunting for another view

Something raw and something new

But every door inside your mind

Opens to a darker kind

Chorus

Don’t take a trip on LSD

Your shadow won’t come home with me

The room expands, the floor goes thin

Something strange gets under your skin

Don’t take a trip on LSD

You might not like what you release

One small tab, one endless spin

A carnival beneath your ribs

Bridge

Street signs twisting into prayers

Dust floating heavy in the air

You swear the buildings learned your name

Nothing afterwards feels the same

Morning comes in pale disease

Birds screaming through the heat

You wash your face for half an hour

Trying to drain the static out

(Final Chorus)

Don’t take a trip on LSD

Some roads split permanently

You can laugh, you can let go

Still there’s things you shouldn’t know

Don’t take a trip on LSD

Or maybe don’t alone at least

Because the dark inside your head

Can wake up hungry when unfed
