lyrics

My five-year plan was destroyed by a flying monster named Paranoia.
I'm sunk but only slightly while this winged destroyer plunders nightly.

In this deflated figure sour with fear, it's nice to be right here,
wherever I am now.
You were here to show me not to take anything for granted.
I guess I know that now.

Paranoia take me with you the next time that you fly.
You see you're always haunting me anyway
and you know I haven't flown in quite some time.

Apparently my two-week goal was too weak to come out whole.
I'm saving what I can but I'm still stressing all the details.
Like some tragic worker trapped between the lines
of this planet and this hell existing solely in my mind.
You were here to show me not to take anything for granted.
I was doing just fine.

Paranoia take me with you the next time you step out to ruin someone's life.
Maybe then I'll see I'm not the only one alive
who wonders what it's like to feel alive.
