Original Material - Colony House

Someone shake me, wake me up, tell me I’ve been dreaming

Tell me what’s the meaning of these things that I keep seeing

'Cause I’m starting to get tired of spinning in a spiral

Held under the pressure like a Gravitron

So someone listen close and help me analyze this feeling

I don’t see in color and white noise is all I’m hearing

Yeah, the doctor gave me pills and my momma’s saying prayers for me

But nothing’s working at all

I don’t want to just fit in with the rest of them

I’ve got too much on my mind to be wasting any time

Pretending to fit in with the rest of them

I’d rather be original material

When I was a child I had fire in my belly

And love was all I needed to keep that fire steady

Oh, I use to be a dreamer, hoper and believer

Now I need a natural phenomenon

To prove my intuition isn’t wrong

I don’t want to just fit in with the rest of them

I’ve got too much on my mind to be wasting any time

Pretending to fit in with the rest of them

I’d rather be original material

Yeah, I know myself too well

It’s all a show and tell

Why can’t you be yourself, man?

Why can’t you be yourself?

I don’t want to just fit in with the rest of them

I’ve got too much on my mind to be wasting any time

Pretending to fit in with the rest of them

I’d rather be original material

For once
