13th Floor Elevators Reverberation (Doubt) Lyrics 13th Floor Elevators lyrics

You finally find your helpless mind
is trapped inside your skin
You want to leave but you believe
you won't get back again

You only know you have to go
but still you can't get out
You try and try, you die and die
You're stopped by your own doubt

Reverberation
Reverberation

You find no peace, it doesn't cease
It's deadly irritation
It keeps you blind, it's there behind
It's every hesitation

It holds your thought, your mind is caught
You're fixed with fascination
You think you'll die, within the lie
It's backward elevation

Reverberation

Reverberation

You see reverberation
in your latest incarnation
You think it's a sensation
but it's just reverberation

You start to swerve the downward curve
that catches up your fears
Each thing you do comes home to you
and pounds inside your ears

You start to fight against the night
that screams inside your mind
When something black, it answers back
and grabs you from behind

(Reverberation) Echoing through your brain
(Reverberation) Driving your mind insane
(Reverberation) Causing your blood to drain
Leaving just charred remains
