The Unconscious Life Lyrics

The Unconscious Life lyrics

I'm in command,
I'm in control,
I am the captain of my soul.
Still, I'm
uncertain in one major role...
oh, I drift through the unconscious
life,
shift through the unconscious life,
lift up my unconscious
eyes:
beyond all normal pain and pleasure
we should treasure the
unconscious life.

We've got our reasons for most things we do,
we
could surely rationalise them through.
A false ring of confidence
would
characterise us true -
oh, we're deep in the unconscious life
asleep in
the unconscious life,
peeping through unconscious eyes.
Beyond all normal
pain and pleasure
we should treasure,
treasure the
unconscious,
treasure the unconscious life.

Something makes me
nervous,
something makes me twitch,
something makes me scratch that
Pavlovian itch,
(Wonder what that is now...?)
Someone that I barely know
must unpick the stitch
to unravel the unconscious life,
travel the
unconscious life,
gather the unconscious eye...
far from shedding light
on any motive
the candle is votive when it burns at both ends.

I'm
not in command,
I'm out of control,
I am the Ship's Boy of my
soul....

Oh, we drift through the unconscious life,
shift through the
unconscious life,
live through the unconscious life.
