    Mythomania

    You walked a mile
    On broken glass
    Through glowing coals
    You wore a path

    The words on your tongue
    A mechanical song
    Your face is lined
    With disappointment

    Oh white matter mind
    What have you got to say?
    Reasons combine
    To force you away

    You’re moving on
    You solved the problem
    And who can blame ya
    You’re safe in here
    Inside your castle
    In Mythomania

    Mythomania

    Cold crescent moon
    On a red cross
    It’s happening soon
    It’s coming for us
    Oh white matter mind
    What is there left to say?
    Reasons combined
    To force you away

    No telephone
    No television
    No news that drain ya
    You’re safer here
    More atmosphere
    In Mythomania

    In Mythomania
    Mythomania

    You caught belief
    Like some disease
    No words can save ya
    Cuz you’re all alone
    You’re on your own
    In Mythomania

    If I can understand that he's a mythomaniac who prefers to shut himself up in his own world in this text.

    What does the line Oh white matter mind mean? It's about the white matter of the brain, in reference to myelin?

    What does Cold crescent moon on a red cross mean? something to do with medicine? or does it symbolise an anchor?:/

    "White matter" is found in the brain so I guess the line means that the lyrical I is talking to himself/herself trying to make a decision.
