Back again within myself

Asleep but aware I'm lost again

Every time I close my eyes

I enter the dream to which I'm strained

A sudden change into a stage

Where life is dust

And everything flow

Circling above swirling seas

Of eyes upraised toward the unknown



Vapour masques in the leaden air

Unleashed by death in a grubby dawn

Vacant faces reflecting sorrow

Hidden inside senses disowned

A maze of glass shattered by thoughts

Of a faltered soul freed in bliss

Clouds disperse revealing shades

Tempting my soul I can't resist



A vision of morbidity

Of ragged silent shadows

Dressed in black disease

They're closing up on me

Peering lifeless weary eyes

They drag me down into

Another world inside of me



Paralyzed by the view

Hypnotized let me wake



Mesmerized by the flames as I return

Into myself a slow conversion a silent

Change I wake into the brightened day
