Paranoia
Hail the Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hate when they talk
Terrified
Hate when the voices talk
Running my mind amok
Social Lies
Paranoia in my conscience
And when it talks
I don't care at all
Moral fentanyl
I'm a book with different endings
If my exes talk
Should I care at all?
Guess my character is flawed!
Sometimes I have trouble being honest
Follow my moral compass it
leads to a dead end
Leveraged words sound absurd
I'll convert social curves
(This is fucked I wish it wasn't. I question my own involvement.)
Paranoia of the masses
And when they talk
I don't care at all
Moral fentanyl
Innocence a distant memory
When my exes talk
Should I care at all?
Guess my character is flawed!
I'm using justifying lines, always the good ones
Cue from the black lung: time to step outside
Out of spite
I want you to be honest
Does the energy I harness make you feel alright?
Leveraged words sound absurd
I'll convert social curves
(This is fucked I wish I wasn't questioning my moral compass.)
If twisted thoughts were poison I'd be dead
Paranoia in my conscience
And when it talks
I don't care at all
Moral fentanyl
I'm a book with different endings
If my exes talk




Should I care at all?
Guess my character is flawed!
