The Many Minds of Me

from In the Garden of Panopticon by BAAN

/

lyrics

I never saw these words before
You had them written on the back of the door
With numbers in your head and more
Falling out onto the floor
The voices in your head were sure
The mathematical concepts were absolutely pure
But it all comes tumbling down
Like an explosion but there is no sound

There’s a cloak you put on some times
It makes you wise and it makes you sublime
You are the drummer now, yeah sure you are
You’re the lead guitarist, you’re a superstar
Every character you become
Is less than the parts of the sum
The centre cannot hold, the edges fold
Transmuted into shadows made of gold

Many minds of me
And some I cannot see
Here come the dreamers
Many minds, the many minds of me

I forget who I was trying to be
I tried to keep you in, you shone right out of me
I felt you there but you were always sleeping
You woke up when I was bleeding out
You saved the day, but who is talking now?
I see what you did but not the why or how
Is there a place you lie your head?
Are all the crimson hues now lost in shades of red?

Many minds of me
And some I cannot see
Here come the dreamers
Many minds, the many minds of me
