I Was You

- I'm at the zenith, falling,
I'm drowning in the music so I can't hear if you're calling.
I'm fully hypnagogic, this stuff is too involving,
The floor and the ceiling independently revolving...

...and when I feel like I'm back,
And all my clocks click-clack, I need my joints to crack. 
I was having palpitations and the room was turning black
But when I feel the air sizzle in myself I'm on track.

---

I heard it said the Devil's in the detail,
I heard the detail is the wind in my sails,
I heard it said the Devil is the wind in my sails,
Go to the Devil on the double if you've been jogging my scales.

Scraggly little thing: they used to call me 'Mouse',
While I was skulking the street corners sipping on 'Grouse,
But now Mephistos send me substances and I'm feeling like Faust,
Can't cool my blood without help from the house.

---

A mind is a terrible thing to waste,
Getting wasted every time it can afford a taste,
If you find it so unbearable go get debased,
If you don't mind being all over the place.

Time I addressed some of this talking:
There's fire in my belly, none of the rest of my internal organs,
There's a proper way to maximise the absorption: 
The only time I stop is when I pass out from exhaustion. 

---

They tell me that the Devil's in the detail,
They think that the detail is the wind in my sails,
They infer that the Devil is the wind in my sails,
Get the fuck out my face if you've been jogging the scales.

When they come to test they won't have any doubt,
The amount I burn I could never be doused out,
Sending me substances and I'm feeling like Faust,
Can't cool my blood without help from the house.

Send substances so I feel slick like Faust,
But I can't cool my blood without help from the house.

Now Mephisto sends me substances and I feel like I'm Faust - 
But I can't cool my blood without help from the house.
