I can see around me in this lucid state
|
My own mind controls my real fate
|
But if I wake from slumber, then returns despair
|
Of the days depression, forgets the dreams I share
|
If I sleep in peace do I loose my sin?
|
Or does it linger to when the day begin
|
|
I've been trying for so long now to avoid the crimes of mind
|
The things I want, desire can it damn me from all peace
|
I lie awake and pray for sleep to take the sorrow away for now
|
In the dreams I'll find new hope, will hope ever cure my ills?
|
|
I hear a woman's voice is calling
|
|
A voice I've never heard
|
I have no vision of her image
|
My dread is growing, I don't know
|
|
If I even care to wake up
|
I know my fear will extend still
|
The inner workings of my mind
|
Can never sleep or calm my soul
|
The troubled waters of my world
|
Aren't consumed by restful sleep
|
Now upon the mornings rising
|
I find life's gauntlet carries on
|
|
In a building with no doorways
|
|
Escape can never be, reach out with emotion
|
Despair my only love
|
I find my way through the dreams of doom
|
Despair reaches out in the black of night
|
Embracing my life's dream
|
I still resist/break the curse/my faith
|
Will live/where hope denies my peace/
|
And through revealed/ in fragments of my mind/
|
My will exists/to roam the corridors of life
|
|
I am the force, I've searched and sought so long
|
My name is his through ancient dreams may now obscure
|
