I slipped into the cloak you left
I fiddle around in the ashtray to find your cigarette pinkish/red
I light it and take a drag
I swear
I'm losing it
With all these erased recordings, I'm rearranging parts
We should accept we'll probably remain this way to the end
In steps
Underneath your sheets I find your makeup and shoes in a bag laid open
Grab my keys and some money and circle around the lake
I guess
You're losing it
I like to believe that maybe you're a lot likе me
Try using this equality we might need in thе air
'Cause there are no more left like you
A picture perfect strange
Imagined in one shape
Unchained
Tempt my spirit within my name
We crawled in the tomb and release some honey
Eighteen hundred million ways striving to make it last
There is no one left like you
A picture perfect strange
Imagined in one shape
Unchained
There are no more thrills I'll need
Than the desire that we shared
From the channels of our dreams
To the grave...
I'll find you somewhere, I believe
You'll find me somewhere again, I believe...

Well after hearing an interview with Chino https://www.kerrang.com/the-news/deftones-chino-moreno-on-the-thrash-metal-riff-in-urantia/ the chorus feels like he is simply talking about how he and perhaps his wife, or a fictional couple, are both 'losing it' and need some time to release. Ride around the lake, maybe she was heading out somewhere too. Rearranging parts: perhaps of being laid up writing this record, or perhaps their verbal interactions and maybe what he wants to say to her. Its the way they are and he's saying 'deal with it', we're a lot alike, he doesn't want to lose her, she's perfect, almost surreal. They get freaky 18 hundred million ways lol. He's content with her, till death do us part. They will meet in the afterlife.
Had to look up Urantia, had no idea what it was. That's my literal interpretation. Of course if you take the word for its meaning it has a lot packed in about science, religion, alternate thoughts. Freakin great song.
