Schizophrenic Prayer Lyrics

So afraid of rejection
Hide inside ourselves
Acting like strangers to avoid the pain

We collect our phobias
Our sicknesses
Feel so good only when we can complain

In your arms
Feels like a better us
In your arms

In your arms
Feels like a better us

Dancing around the fire
Getting drunk with the night
Nobody is ever who they seem to be

Hypnos give us your hand
We so tire of this life
Need to rest and finally disappear

In your arms
Feels like a better us
In your arms

In your arms
Feels like a better us

In your arms
Feels like a better us
In your arms

In your arms
Feels like a better us

This sounds like someone who is Schizophrenic, praying to get out of this life they're in.

Cover art for Schizophrenic Prayer lyrics by Riverside

Socializing can be terrifying.. When that terror reaches a high level of phobia- over developing closeness with others- then we dissociate from ourselves and try to keep distance and "safety" from the mental pain that comes with growing closer to someone else and building a relationship. \n(Sometimes it seems like the easiest way to go about life, since there are no sudden events or situations: life is more predictable. The loneliness gradually turns us more mentally fucked. To deal with it, we might drink a lot & be all depressed in general. Life has little enjoyment, and there are many fucked coping mechanisms people do in desperation.)
