(In the) dreamland of my being Wastelands, vastlands, dreamplains A mental blur where pain lives in oneiric shades Fear and regret is eating me alive a thousand stabbing knives Under burning water I resurrect A rollercoaster of emotions Sounds arrive without heed From every wind, in drops and whispers Painting canvas in my mind Have you ever buried the stains? Try to hide deep enough those remains Who you were is who you’ll ever be Spent your whole life crafting a fantasy Carrying the burden at all times Stretching limits til’ nothing is A big black hole From the inside oblivion one seldom returns On the perennial downward slope For self-annihilation You’ll be pleased to find Everyone is so nice
