Abstraction (Big Band Version) [VOCALS ONLY]

Every day, it starts the same

We're called into the tent by Caine

To take part in some silly game to keep our sanity

And though I know this world is strange, I won't allow myself to change

I try my best and work to save my old humanity

Hey Pomni, come inside

We've got a wild ride

Hey, look, your shoe's untied

Very funny, I'll pass on this adventure

Are you sure?

Yeah, can't you see?

I'm fine (she's fine), I won't lose my mind

I don't need your dumb distractions

I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction)

I'm fine (she's fine), I won't lose my mind

You won't get the satisfaction

I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction)

No!

Every day, it starts the same

I get a taste of where I came from

But I can't recall my name

Or any other thing about me!

Every time I start to crack

My friends are there to get my back

We're like a house of cards, in fact

I know they'd fall apart without me

Hey, Pomni, you okay?

You're looking rough today

Well, that's so nice to say

Oh, wait, sorry!

I stare into the mirror and repeat 'til I believe

"I'm fine" (she's fine), "I won't lose my mind"

I don't need your dumb distractions

I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction)

I'm fine (she's fine), I won't lose my mind

You won't get the satisfaction

I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction)

No!

Oh, Pom, can't you see that we are your new family?

We will keep you sane and strong

If you break, don't let it start to shake

There's more that you can take

So, please, don't let me be wrong!

Every day and every night (Pomni)

It all turns out the same! (Stay calm)

So why waste time with friends to play (Pomni)

When I can escape a different way? (Stay calm)

I cannot eat, I cannot sleep

I have a mouth, but I can't scream

Loud enough to change the scenery inside of this machinery

A polygonal prison, made of one and zero digits

And I wonder if that's all I am

This form that I've been given

Or my mind is in a coma, and this nightmare will preserve it

Maybe this is all a test

And, maybe somehow I deserve it

And t-t-thoughts, that fly inside my head

I'm f-filled with existential d-dread-d!

That's why I lie awake in bed-ed!

And stay up wishing I was d-dead

But I'm fine

I won't lose my mind

I don't need your dumb distractions

I'm no abstraction

I'm fine (she's fine)

I won't lose my mind

You won't get the satisfaction

I'm no abstraction (she's no abstraction)

No! Oh-oh-oh, oh!

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
