I- I- I- I- I- I- I I- I- I- I- I- I- I- I I can't move I mean, I can feel my heart But the rest of my parts won't start They stay parked in this darkness That's when I realized I possessed complete control of all three of my eyes So I open them wide and try to look around the room When I assume, I'm still layin' up in my bed This ain't just in my head My defence reflex is effective immediately Unfortunately, my physical don't agree with me I can't speak I mean, I can use my voice But can't move my lips or my tongue, it's just noise I battle with reality, but pace my breathin' I'm distracted by the face within the shadows on the ceiling Maybe it's a demon or an alien being I wanna pretend that I'm dreaming, of course my family sleeping I try to force my scream, but couldn't catch results Somebody wake me up and come and check my pulse I can't Maybe it's only in my head Maybe I'm all up in my head Maybe it's only in my head Maybe you're all up in my head I can't sleep I used to tell myself that it was paranoia Telling me to look over a pair of shoulders Now I know that it's connected to anxiety Ability to rest affected by something inside of me Maybe I should try to pay attention to the melody I hear the devil singing, what she saying, what she telling me? Maybe it's influenced when I'm under the influence Or maybe it's God, she tryna tell me she ain't interested in listening She probably judged me for my weird thoughts Like she wasn't making raindrops out of tear-drops To get to Heaven first you have to go through Hell You built your own prison, might as well sweep the dirt out your cell Tell me it's a government experiment They study from a secret bunker underneath the pyramids Go ahead and give whatever explanation But please don't try to make me admit that I'm being visited by spacemen Well okay then Maybe it's only in my head Maybe I'm all up in my head Maybe it's only in my head Get out of my head And honestly, just, just tell me that it's, that it's spacewomen 'Cause even that would be just a little less bothersome
