The weight of your eyes Growing greater with time Relax your mind Fall asleep and be free Show me The bleakest picture And I'll give it a frame Adorned with sweet ribbons From my mouth So eloquent In the art of persuasion That I fail to notice The taste of Snake oil On my own silver tongue I've always had a way with words But this time the words have Got a way with me Hypnotized In a way that I can't shake Have I been lying to myself Whatever helps To keep the dream alive Keeping safe and sound From the world outside So tell me Where's the line Between hope and denial Finding truth in delusion By forcing a smile Nothing's getting better We're just staying home This will all blow over Find your worry stone Pacing in the kitchen Talking myself down Found my new religion Blocking it all out Keep on dreaming Keep on dreaming This too shall pass Hypnotized In a way that I can't shake Have I been lying to myself Whatever helps To keep the dream alive Keeping safe and sound From the world outside So tell me Where's the line Between hope and denial I'll bide my time Til all the wells run dry Emerging when I am Not hypnotized anymore
