A Long, Dark Night

Please take my hand, she said.
It will be like a prayer,
Like a vow.
I'll show you the stars, she said
Then cast them in my eyes.
Ensorcled there,
With my soul in her hand,
A deeper sleep,
She slowly sunk me in
You say you want to see the darkness
That lies inside
Well baby close your eyes
Someday you may see the light
But for now it will be
A long dark night.

Darkness Falls

At the setting of the sun,
Evenings' just begun,
When shadows chase the light,
And darkness fades to night.
When all is in transition,
A doorway has been opened,
A rainbow-haloed moon,
With an eyeball looking through
Before I knew it,
All light had passed away
And as I lie down to sleep,
Something stirs to wake,
All chaos and splenour,
In twilight sweetly calls,
Her deathly beauty takes me over,
And darkness falls

Sing to me sweet siren,
Break me on your rocks
I can't get enough,
Its driving me mad
Sweet chaos, oh sweet chaos
I'm awash in your wake
Crash me upon your shores,
Bring me to utter ruin
I cannot escape
Your song pulls on my heart
My addiction is to your seduction
It leaves me wanting more
Sing the words,
Of my swan song
Wrap tendrils on my mind
I'm your thrall;
Worshipful into damnation
Consume my soul
And we'll be whole
solo
I can't get enough,
Its driving me mad
Sweet chaos, oh sweet chaos
I'm awash in your wake
I cannot escape
Your song pulls on my heart
Sweet chaos, oh sweet chaos
I'm awash in your wake

Lost in a Dream
03:12
|
|

|
I'm lost in a dream
And each time it seems
That I'm finally awake
I awaken again
Each world is so real
All I touch all I feel
And I can't decide,
What is real, what's a lie
So each new bright morn
I'm tattered and torn
Am I finally free?
Or did I just fall asleep?

Torn Away
04:28
|
|||
|
Suddenly I'm awake
And everythings so clear
I can finally be myself
Now that you're not here
Torn Away
Like scab
Laid bare
Stinging pain
That will fade
A nightmarish dream
Whose memory
Slips away
One moment I am numb
Then it all comes flooding back
That you're gone
And now its just me
No longer I feel weak
Now that I've grown strong
I finally broke the chains
Used for stringing me along
And now that you are gone
I still feel you near
The one that I love most
The one that I most fear
Was any of it real?
Or what it just a dream? (a nightmare)
Too painful to remember,
But too precious to forget

Insomnia

Once upon a time
I lived
Happily ever after
In a fairy-tale dream
But those days are gone
Blown away
By the Breeze
And no matter how I try
I just can't
Fall back asleep
