Lucid Nightmare

Peeling back the layers of what is real

Darkness comes into my realm surreal and

Pulsing steady, macabre delight

It calls to me beating, somewhere in the night

Oh how it burns

Dreams broken by you, your suffering and your pain

Infect those you love, we share in all the pain

Now! Time to be seen

See! All that has been

Free! All that you think (let us inside you)

No! Let us be you

Please! Soon we'll be through

What?! Do you desire? (all that I can know)

I sit alone by windows

So silent, meditating quiet

There's nothing odd it seems but

A drop of sweat spells it all out

Shadows with eyes

A force of nature has found a friend

Shadow's disguise

The memories are cast into light

Speak, speak to me she pleads...so kind and motherly

One shouldn't speak his thoughts, just keep to your own self

Why (I!) have you come here

I (you!) want it all clear

Shall (we!) we learn about each other and more?

Why (I!) isn't the question

I (you!) want it all clear

Shall (we!) we take our hands, leap into the void

We spoke for endless hours, what seemed like lifetimes passing by

All that is dark and twisted, a journey through what I once knew

Signs from within

What might be certain might also fail

Signs all around

Life with blinders, I shall be found

Darkness behind, behind the door, it's

Darkness inside, inside each of us

I'm in a dream/reality, a paradox so real

Contact, eternity between us

Answers, it's opening floodgates in my mind

Looking straight into my soul he asks me

"Are you ready to forgive me?" (forgive him now!)

Now begins my spiral fall into the black

Grey ethereal world of answers, answers and lies

Curiosity divine yet frightening

When left alone the mind will turn on, turn on itself

Opened doorways, let the dark come in

The void seems frightening but it needs you, needs to be seen

No more dreams, the things I've seen in a lifetime of mere seconds

- Time compressed, what's the deal to be struck between yourself and I? -

No limits, I want to fly, leave the world of mortals far behind

No body, I want to die, live as one with the elements in space

- A noble step to the light of the darkness of reality -

- Count to three, then you'll see this has all been just inside your head -

No! I want to stay

You! Do not betray

I! I found you there (I have freed your soul)

We (I!) are to be bound

I (we!) cannot be found

Die! (no!) singular path (for my desires)

Awaken from the stupor of meditation gone awry

But still the pain is with me, and to my right he's lying there

Stand into light

The morning beams of the sun's twilight

Stand up and see a newfound path of your destiny
