Psychic Driving

from Alpha​-​Omega Man by Napier's Bones

lyrics

Rushing headlong, senses overload
I'm helpless now, against the undertow

Who was I? Was it all invention?
Who was I? Nothing more than well rehearsed routines?
Conditioned not to ask, what is truth, anyway?

A thousand different scenes from a hundred different dreams
Countless memories recombined, but who knows what they mean?
Illuminate the darkness between disparate points of light
An infant's faltering steps ahead into the blackest, starless night

Can I find out who I am? End this searching.
Things that make me who I am.
A lifetime returning

Like the weight of air before a storm, I couldn't fight it held me down
This parody was cast adrift, I waved, I drowned.
But I learned to say all the things I knew they had to hear
I learned to act, I learned to lie, I learned to hide my fear

Then I found out who I am. No more uncertainty
All that makes me who I am.
Embracing destiny

Proud to show just who I am, back from infinity
All that makes me who I am, revealing destiny

Returning from the void, a man outside of time
Welcome Back.
Back from the darkness
Bringing hope, bringing light
Behold a brand new way of life.

Welcome Back from oblivion
The Alpha Omega Man
Back where I belong

Listen to me, listen to me
Now I see, no doubt at all as clarity returns
No need to shed a tear for me
I belong

I belong, for the first time I belong
Life beyond the Stygian gloom, I belong

I am free to live my life
"Just the same as everyone"

I am free to voice opinion
"Just the same as everyone"

I am free to keep my secrets
"Just the same as everyone"

I am free to love that special one
"Just the same as everyone"

To. Be. Free
