There's a world, Inside my head When I sleep, When I dream There's a place, I like to go Where I'm free, Where I'm whole And I don't want to wake up, Just to face reality So I beg them to let me stay, But alas it cannot be Somewhere beyond, In time and space Another me, and I trade place I wonder when, While I am there If my dream, Is his nightmare And I don't want to wake up, Just to face reality So I beg them to let me stay, But alas it cannot be I'm in an old Victorian, An abandoned library Enlightenment is locked inside, And I am here to find the key

Dreaming mystic, traveling sleeper Dreaming fool, Drifting deeper Endless rooms, Endless halls Endless doors hidden in walls There a puzzle resides, You've come to find A truth that hides, Inside your mind There's a secret there, You need to know Questions is, How deep will you go? Sliding panels, swiveling bookcases Trap doors revealing secret places Searching rooms, and rooms, And rooms, endless rooms There a puzzle resides, You've come to find A truth that hides, Inside your mind There's a secret there, You need to know Questions is, How deep will you go?

Lost Inside 03:11
Was it ever meant to be? Hell I may never really know I've been lost inside so long that I swear I Have no desire to go I'm ain't looking for reasons, Nor reason Lose me in, Some soft oblivion How can I search for the truth when I Can't even reach you And you're right here in the room Let me escape please Let me stay asleep The deeper I get The further I go away Sought inside for Some great unknown Only to find myself all Lost and alone

Reality and delusion, Are like the beach and sea Which one is the rock, And which one is the wave? When it all comes crashing down you'll know All the circles you've travelled And the broken mirror shards will show How far your mind has unraveled Reality will cause the mind to stress and break Wake up to disillusion and numb the heart to cold

We're prone to see patterns, Connections, relations When in truth they are the inevitable result of infinite chaos All this space, all this time I've been searching for meaning in vain In that final room, an empty place I saw a mirror, reflect someone else’s face I've run out of patience for mystical nonsense If the truth is a delusion then where does that leave me? I'm an oneironaut lost on a pilgrimage to the other side Did I wake up in someone elses' nightmare or is this one mine?

We are all gathered here today With our last respects to pay To say goodbye to all sanity And bid farewell to our humanity We all mourn its tragic death But it's breathed its final breath We are all gathered here today With our last respects to pay To say goodbye to all civility And bid farewell to our humility We all mourn its tragic death But it's breathed its final breath And so I must bid adieu The last part of me that cared for you

Cold 03:00
Next time you die on the street Please try to keep it down Find somewhere to bleed Where no one else is around I've gone so numb And I am just one In several billion Lost all warmth What have I become? Cold I’m so cold It's so cold We're so cold Mankind can be so cruel And life is so unfair All this pain and suffering But we're too jaded to care We're all so numb, yeah And I am just one In several billion Who's lost all warmth What have we become?
