Reality Distortion

[Intro] Snap of the lighter, smoke in the room, He said the truth hides under perfume. [Verse 1] Mind got layers, he built the map, Dreams spill secrets you can’t unwrap. Id wants thrill, Ego runs the show, Superego whispers, “Don’t let go.” [Pre-Chorus] Talk it out on the couch, rewind, Trace every shadow in the back of your mind. [Chorus] Down in the basement, echoes of youth, Every confession is searching for truth. Pleasure and pain on the same tight wire, Every desire still feeds the fire. [Verse 2] Cigars and slips, obsessions confessed, He called it neurosis, just souls undressed. Mother and father behind each dream, The mind’s old film on a Freudian screen. [Pre-Chorus] Psyche’s a courtroom, ego’s the judge, Childhood’s fingerprints never budge. [Chorus] Down in the basement, echoes of youth, Every confession is searching for truth. Pleasure and pain on the same tight wire, Every desire still feeds the fire. [Bridge] Past repeats ‘til you name its face, Memory’s prison, therapy’s grace. Freud said love and death are twinned— The start, the end, the places you’ve sinned. [Outro] He said, “Know your ghosts, or they’ll act for you.” Then the room went quiet, and the truth came through.
