about

I do have my suspicions about reality, and about our brains and how our consciousness works. A lot of it is due to personal experience and experimentation, and I think I paid a price for those insights. This song originally started at U of M's Neuropsychiatric Clinic, where I wound up for a while after a period of pretty intense psychedelic exploration. I learned a lot, I think, but some of it was really painful.

lyrics

SINGING IN MY HEAD

INTRO – D7/E (8 BARS)


C C/B C/A
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
F G
But this might kill me, this might do it
C C/B C/A
I don’t think I can take it too much longer
F G
But I have to, to get through it
F
I spend my days in isolation,
G / Am Am/G /
Trapped behind these shining walls of bone
Am/F
I’m all alone
F G
Sometimes I really wish that I were someone else instead
F/G G/A
But would that person hear the angels
Bb/C C/D D/E
When they’re sometimes singing in my head?

D7/E (4 BARS)

They say it isn’t over till it’s over
But I’ve seen so very many things now ending
When I step back I get a view from nowhere
Keep sinking when I should just be ascending
I know outside the sun is shining,
But I’m locked in and I’m without the keys
I do believe
The last thing I remember as they tied me to the bed
The chorus I hear from the angels
When they’re sometimes singing in my head

D7/E (4 BARS); D#7/F (8 BARS)

You don’t know where you’re going till you get there
Still I wonder where the road I walk is leading
My friends who come to see me, I’m glad they’re here
But they can’t know what I’m feeling
The things I’ve seen, I do believe
It’s worth it all to glimpse the holy flame
I’m not insane
The doctor says the pills he holds will kill the demons dead
But would I then still hear the angels
When they’re sometimes singing in my head?

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
