I'm Gone
The Hotel Year Lyrics

I'm living and breathing, while every single chain around my body is breaking
Despite feeling trapped, I am still alive and fighting to break free.

My introspective train of thought is rolling and racing
My inner thoughts and reflection pulse with intensity.

While serotonin comes and goes like rain
My mood fluctuates uncontrollably like the weather.

I'm dreaming while waking
My reality is vivid and dreamlike at the same time.

Perceptions and personalities are crafted from my own mind
My unique perspective shapes my outlook on life and who I am.

While I combust and melt away, I see everything that I cannot believe
While I feel overwhelmed and disintegrated, I am still able to see things beyond belief.

And I'm fucking gone
I have transcended the limits of my mind and existence.

When the world is your mind erased and gray skies swallow everything
When life feels bleak and hopeless, and the world around me is colorless and dull.

While you throw yourself away into memories that are bursting in your veins
Retreating into memories that pulse with vivid emotion and feeling, to the point of losing oneself.

Listen to the noise that you create with ears to hear the sounds of change
Pay attention to the impact you have on the world and be open to change.

Close your eyes and melt into the sea of sound waves and this beautiful machine
Allow yourself to be immersed in the beauty and complexity of life and existence.

I'm crashing and waking, the sun inside my chest is welling and bursting from this feeling in my fingertips and streams out with breaths, deep within my lungs
I am experiencing intense emotional and physical sensations that are radiating from within me and bursting forth into the world.
