Kaiko - The Daze

COVERED IN A DUSTY COAT OF FIFTEEN CIGARETTES
TRYING HARD TO SWEEP AWAY LINGERING REGRETS

AS LIGHT FADES, THE DIM FABRIC SOAKS INTO MY SKIN, DEEP INSIDE
I SHIVER, IT EATS ME UP, GUIDES ME THROUGH THE NIGHT

SLOWLY PACING FORWARD IN A SEA OF HAZE AND FUMES?
A GHOST THAT FLOATS INVISIBLY THROUGH PEOPLE IN SKEWED ROOMS

SHIMMERING, GOLDEN WALLS ILLUMINATE FACES PASSING BY
MY STOMACH’S IN A SOMERSAULT, FLICKERS HURT MY EYE

AS I BREATHE IN
?SHAKING HANDS GRAB THE NEXT GLASS, TOUCH A SHOULDER
?YOU WANNA DANCE“
?I’M GREAT, I’M RECKLESS AND BOLDER

VEINS FULL OF LIQUID BLISS, ON THE SURFACE THERE’S A SMILE / I SMILE
WHY DO I FEEL THIS EMPTY, SO COLD INSIDE

I LEAVE MYSELF BEHIND
GOTTA GET OUT
?LET THE DAZE DEVOUR MY MIND

HEAVY FEET CARRY ME ON AN ENDLESS ODYSSEY?
TIRESOME HALLWAYS, NO PLACE IS HOME / ALONE / ALIVE / OVERDRIVE
I SEE

GLITTERING CREATURES, EXCESSIVE DREAMERS, A GLIMPSE OF GOLD
FORTUNE SEEKERS

ON THE RUN IN AN EVERYDAY SPINNING WHEEL, THEY DON’T WANNA FEEL
THEY WANNA FEEL

HIGH. LITTLE DRAGONFLIES. ON AN ISLAND IN THE SKIES
WHAT AM I DOING HERE
?FANTASIZE / I ONLY FANTASIZE, CLOSE MY EYES, IT ALL REWINDS
LOOK DOWN THE ATMOSPHERE

THIS IS MADNESS, OBSESSION, I GOTTA GET OUT, THE SPACESHIP IS SOON
ABOUT TO DROWN?
I LEARNED MY LESSON, TOOK OFF MY CROWN
THE TRIP IS A TEMPORARY ILLUSION

AN EPHEMERAL UNIVERSE YOU TRICKED ME /
I AM VANISHING IN THE SMOTHERING HEAT
?FROM NOW ON I BELONG TO NO-ONE, TO NOTHING BUT THE HAMMERING BEAT

I LEAVE MYSELF BEHIND
CANNOT GET OUT?
LET THE DAZE DEVOUR MY MIND
SWALLOWED BY THE CROWD
LOSE CONTROL INSIDE
EMBRACE IT?
VOID IS WHAT I WILL FIND
