Reverberation
(Tommy Hall, Stacy Sutherland, Roky Erickson)
Well, you finally find you're helpless mind
Is trapped inside your skin
You want to leave
But you believe you won't get back again
You only know you have to go
But still you can't get out
You try and try
You die and die
You're stopped by your own doubt
Reverberation
Reverberation
You find no peace
It doesn't cease
It's deadly irritation
It keeps you blind
It's there behind
You're every hesitation
It holds your thought.
Your mind is caught
You're fixed with fascination
You think you'll die
It's just a lie
It's backward elevation
Reverberation
Reverberation
You see reverberation
In your latest incarnation
You think its a sensation
But it's just reverberation
You star to serve
The downward curve
That catches up your fears
Each thing you do
Comes home for you
And pound inside your ears
You star to fight against the night
That screams inside your mind
When something black it answers back
And grab you from behind
Reverberation
Echoing through your brain
Reverberation
Driving your mind insane
Reverberation
Causing your blood to drain
Leaving just charred remains
