Raw Nerve Endings - Eraserhead Lyrics

Floating consciousness, all the strands of myself
Pulled back and forth to my whims
Crave the heat within, in a safe space instead
All those times I could redeem

Care for me now, understand how I feel
Can't seem to scream out my pain and my fear
Pull the lever down, lift away all that's real

Baring thoughts today, how do I even express
All my words seem to cloud my head
People demand me, and when I'm displayed
It's a sight too intricate

A sight for sore eyes, am I shedding light
Or am I too blunt, to even realize
The thoughts I distort, in a place deep within

But I'm projecting me, you'd have to understand
Beneath all the scorn, delusions all so grand
Is a plea to be known, it surrounds where I stand
But you have to believe me

You can't be deceived here, you have to know the stakes
I cannot disappear, I'm a shell of what I was
You'll know it all soon, all it takes for me to break
So do you understand

Lost myself from grace, falling way down the hole
Paranoid memories spread out
Someone remind me, why the things life had stole
Keep floating back here all around

Care for me now, understand how I feel
Can't seem to scream out my pain and my fear
The thoughts I've hidden, came back to haunt me

Yet I'm projecting me, you'd have to understand
Beneath all the scorn, delusions all so grand
Is a plea to be heard, it surrounds where I stand
But you have to believe me

You can't be deceived here, you have to know the stakes
I cannot disappear, I'm a shell of what I was
You'll know it all soon, all it takes for me to break
So do you understand
You won't understand

Love
