LYRIC FOR SALE

By No Legs Octopus

Feeling bad for feeling bad
Lost all progress that I had
Here again, yet again
Back as if I never left

Feeling bad for feeling bad
Surest way I've ever had
For making feeling any better
So much harder in the end


CHORUS:
Lost sight of the other side again
How do I get back outside again

Stuck in this twisted funhouse ride
Where all routes lead back inside
Here everywhere I look I'm surrounded by

Distorted mirrors reflecting my worth
Hauntings of past 'me’s I’ve been before
Of every burned bridge and closed door

But to start again, each life must end,
And once you know you can't pretend
It's not an option you forget

Once it's open, once you've chose it
That door only closes from behind
You can't stay and still feel alive

When the cost to cross it's entryway
Is a prize instead of price to pay
And you realize you'll never be the same

You don’t play to win just to escape
The fun house game inside your brain
(The fun house game inside your brain)


I fight so hard to push ahead
To forge a new path instead
But I just relearn the same lessons
And keep chasing new dead ends

Still I fall for it every time
I chase the dream just to find
I never left, it's in my mind
And I can’t leave me behind


CHORUS:
Lost sight of the other side again
How do I get back outside again

Stuck in this twisted funhouse ride
Where all routes lead back inside
Here everywhere I look I'm surrounded by

Distorted mirrors reflecting my worth
Hauntings of past 'me’s I’ve been before
Of every burned bridge and closed door

But to start again, each life must end,
And once you know you can't pretend
It's not an option you forget

Once it's open, once you've chose it
That door only closes from behind
You can't stay and still feel alive

When the cost to cross it's entryway
Is a prize instead of price to pay
And you realize you'll never be the same

You don’t play to win just to escape
The fun house game inside your brain
(The fun house game inside your brain)


Held captive by my own brain
I try to find reasons to explain
But they create rules to maintain
And patterns trap pain

Deeper still I dig and search
To understand, unlearn, and do the work
Expanding my labyrinth cage
Losing track of the right way


BRIDGE:
I wanted it all, to live a thousand lives
But to start again, each life must end,

as the casualties climb, I can't face them
so I shake them off, leave them behind

While everyone I've loved gets harder to find
And the damage I've caused get harder to hide

How to break free, I try to deny,
But I'm sick of being stuck in the maze of my mind

And I can't leave me behind
I can't leave me behind


CHORUS:
Lost sight of the other side again
How do I get back outside again

Stuck in this twisted funhouse ride
Where all routes lead back inside
Here everywhere I look I'm surrounded by

Distorted mirrors reflecting my worth
Hauntings of past 'me’s I’ve been before
Of every burned bridge and closed door

But to start again, each life must end,
And once you know you can't pretend
It's not an option you forget

Once it's open, once you've chose it
That door only closes from behind
You can't stay and still feel alive

When the cost to cross it's entryway
Is a prize instead of price to pay
And you realize you'll never be the same

You don’t play to win just to escape
The fun house game inside your brain
(The fun house game inside your brain)
