Waking Dreams

Verse 1

I catch myself in waking dreams

hurt myself, escape the screams

living nightmare, unravelling seams

patch me up, put me back together

I’m the seer, just half a human

Godlike visions, like a shaman

I try to run, I try to flee

The future brings demise, it brings despair

At my deathbed, wrapped cloth

Shivering, shaking, hollow coughs

The future is where I am trapped

The present seems so fucking hard to

grasp, it’s moving so fast

Every moment, latching on

Weak hands, current strong

Lose the moment, and it’s gone

Pre-chorus

I wish there was a remedy

for the visions plaguing me

Pills, injections, set me free

I’m so fucking tired of this

Maybe I’m just out of luck

Questions that have got me stuck

Maybe I’ll skip to the end

Chorus - variant 1

This very moment becomes a memory

A monument left to decay, fades away

This very moment, reduced to a parody

All meaning, lost to me, it’s blinding me, I cannot see

Verse 2

I catch myself in walking free

Forget the chains that’s choking me

Fucking chains dig deep inside

Flesh exposed, can’t take the lies:

statements like “I am ok”

just to make you go away

Sorry you are led astray, but hey:

you’re better off this way

Again, back at this place

The race, the chase, the endless phase

Time has slowed down to a halt

I’ve become a lightning bolt,

I’m pure fucking energy

Destructive, living fallacy

I need no reason, I’m concluding

Endless loop, without resolving

Pre-chorus 2

Maybe I’m just out of luck

Questions that have got me stuck

Maybe I’ll skip to the end

Maybe I’ll skip to the end

Chorus - main 1

Bring me closer to the present

I am stuck before the end

Locking up this very moment

Throw the key far down the well

Bridge

So hollow, so hollow I’ll follow,

own into the grave

So shallow, so shallow

Life, it bears no meaning

The gallow, the gallow, I’m mellow

Rope around my neck

A calm, it settles

An end to an end to an end

Chorus - main 2
