“Vitals appear to be in good standing
Drop the inhibitors, wake him up
Open your eyes, boy, and tell me what you see…”
“I see...everything…”
“It appears things aren't going well at the ‘Gate.’
He’ll be sent there
and let them see what he’s made of…”
In the center of my eye, a swirling vortex, colored rightly so: a deception
Condemned to waste away in the blackest sea
No telegram would reach you, should it come from me
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe…
On the edge of Orion
Sweat in my eyes as ships battle on
In the great black ocean
Their massive hulls aglow with cesium!
This mind
Blooming with potential
Squandered
By your little impositions
You'd have me rot
But I think not...
So soft, so inert
You wanna see what I can do?
Watch closely, it'll all be over soon!
Does my light burn bright enough for you?
Tell me
This water pouring out from my eyes
Is it real? Is it pain?
Could you
Differentiate the tears from this downpour
And filter out the rain?
I have burned so bright
The flame must endure
In the golden halls
I seek my resolution
Only one can give
The gift I so deserve
“I'm surprised you didn't come here sooner.”
“It's not an easy thing to meet your maker.”

Do you trust me?
The waves have crashed into the wall
It’s time
To escape the storm that brought you
Here
Not a moment for
Second guesses
The path is narrow
And I can’t promise we’ll survive
Dream, oh dream
What's it mean?
Huh? What's it mean?
With great plumes of flame
To light my way
We fly into the endless dark
“I don’t understand. Where will you go?”
“It doesn’t matter! Better that you don’t know anyways.
This thing is bigger than either of us and when it gets out,
The whole world is never gonna be the same…”
When they called me, I answered
And when I met him, I stood fast
And when the time came, I knew how
But through it all, I still can't shake this goddamn
Dream,
(Fold into a)
Oh dream
(Most peculiar)
What's it mean?
(Unfamiliar)
Huh? What's it mean?
(Paper figure)
Oh, dream (Fold into a)
oh, dream (Most peculiar)
It’s killin’ me (Unfamiliar)
she’s killin’ me (Paper figure)
Oh, dream, (Fold into a)
oh, dream (Most peculiar)
It’s killin’ me (Unfamiliar)
she’s killin’ me (Paper figure)
Can’t you show me what’s real?
The lines are washing away
I just don’t understand
I’ve had enough, wake me up!
“All my memories,
Everything I thought I was, leading up to this point, is a lie.
Someone else’s life.
But what about you?
I’ve seen how you toss and turn at night.
So haunted by something.
Are you so sure of what you are?”
Take this fever
You great deceiver
And leave me here to go on
With the one who
Filled my aging heart wholly
Gave my existence a reason to be
Now here at the end of it all
Somehow we are to part ways
I curse this dream
I curse this dream
I curse this dream
And all it ever brought me

Here on the streets it’s a long leash that you’re given
Got the collar wrapped tight, strapped for the long night of hunting
Trading tips for tricks, I’m gonna zero in on my prey
Scrape the mud off your boots, hang up your coat, and do it again
My mind and my body are yours to command
You want me to go?
You want me to stay?
You want me to kill?
I’ll kill away
“Look at me. What happens if I finish that?”
They wanna know what it’s like to be filled with dread
(Within cells - interlinked - interlinked; interlinked within cells - cells)
Look out your little keyhole and see my appetites get fed
(Within cells - interlinked - interlinked; Do they keep you in a little box? - cells)
They wanna know if there’s a part of me that’s missing
(Within cells - interlinked - interlinked; interlinked within cells - cells)
If it’s all the same to you, just let me back out on the scene
(Within cells - interlinked - interlinked; You’re not even close to baseline)
Maybe I
Wanna watch you
Die this time
Maybe I’ll
Ignore
Directives
And embrace the singe
On my silicone skin
A tall
White
Fountain
Plays
And the
Water
Rises
Show me why, show me why you’re the best
Maybe I’m
Gonna watch you
Die this time
Maybe I’ll
Ignore
Directives
And embrace the singe
On my silicone skin
