Cold Piano, Breathing Guitar

How can I slip away unnoticed and unheard Blend in with the environment, remain undetected, make a clean escape out of the room into the heavy air of the universe outside for the torment of my youth, there, she's seeping in again The illusions, they're onto me The thoughts, they're planning to dissect me They captured my heart for a sick interrogation They brought in the warden: Melissa...Melissa... Is it false I believed I shrouded her in a cloud of misery so I could push her from me Honestly thought I cast her out to sea, expunged her from me declared she would be the last thing affecting me The illusions, they've caught up to me How long have I had my spiritual eyes sealed shut I've caught myself in a rut the doubt sinks in to take her place the place of the world I've come to love the place of the world I've come to despise Oh no, oh no GET OUT OF MY HEAD! ! Peace of mind, where is my peace of mind I thought I could finally breathe in, take in and have peace within Where is my peace of mind Maybe no one will notice how crazy I seem Maybe no one will notice I'm drowning in scripted clouds inside my head If I keep a steel gaze, walk around in a haze but I stand here in an unfamiliar space throwing rocks in a weary place choking on the air from the smoke, smell of fire I didn't make picturing every stone as a problem to toss away A stoic expression spreads upon my face as the Earth predicts my future while I go nowhere stop and stare as the cotton candy clouds match the color of my painted mind What month is it Melissa... She dragged me from my September into a cold December casting a spell to send my eyes into a misty blue pools of rain clouds with unknown reasons as plain as the rains crash away and the echo of wedding bells turning white into a mix of gray and all out happiness The guitar, splashed with a hint of mint breathing in the sorrow of a cold piano Or is it just an illusion GET OUT OF MY MIND! ! ! Melissa...get off my mind... The illusions...their conspiring... Melissa...please just stay away... Melissa...just stay away... I can only scream not aware one day the music will...
