The Sleeping and the Dead
As I witness, you fall behind
I continue and start to rise
Now you're after a droning daze
To fall back into sulk in your shame
In connection we find a game so obvious
Planned from the start
Can't explain why it distracts us
I'm delirious and the air is thinning
The room is spinning and I am sitting
Every breath I'm consuming my own doubt
It still keeps us alive
See there's an evil that's outraged
Still it keeps us alive
Resistance plays at our heart strings
When the weight comes down
You reject it, just accept it
Thinking you need out
You create it, you can escape it
This urgency you feel each second will never leave
Don't ever think it's the end
Alive to keep us reckless
With toxins in ours veins
While basic operators follow directions and play the game
What you say in your head is not what you tell the world
Destroying all my fears
Just as the picture is about to come clear
Disassemble
Falling to the ground
Shattered on the floor
Picking up the pieces as I
