Capuchin Twin - Is This What It Means? Lyrics

I stand alone in a cavern oh so deep
The tar-imbued darkness offers seldom sleep
But, alas, I'm home alone, tangled in the sheets
Oh, is this what it means to dream
My eyes adjust to the light of day
A morning-delirious psychedelic breakaway
My eggshell mind invents a safe escape
Oh, is this what it means to be awake
I visit the world, my smile stapled to my cheeks
The sharp, unfolded back stabs every stranger I try to meet
I unpin myself, focused only on being me
Oh, is this what it means to finally breathe
Tears are streaming from my eyes
I've learned life can be more than compromise
In spite of rain, a tattered, war-torn cry
Oh, this is what it means to be alive
This is what it means to be alive
