Illusions

Illusions make dividing lines
That separate space and time
We prefer to shut our eyes
And let these things remain inside
Illusions make delightful lies
We separate and choose our sides
There is no place for us to hide
Fading out from too many tries
You shouldn’t have to defend yourself
Just for the sake of someone else
The separation is killing me
There is nothing left satisfactory
Illusions make dividing lines
That separate space and time
We prefer to shut our eyes
And let these things remain inside

Why do my eyes leave me deceived?
How can you drown and still care to breathe?
Hopelessly wandering, vacant discoveries
You think I’m a failure
I’m your dead sailor
I’ve watched you live and all I see
You cling to me so desperately
Constantly wavering, final identity
You think I’m a failure
I’m your dead sailor

Wait, how did this happen?
How did this happen?
You’re the one
The only one
Fate, how did this happen?
How did this happen?
The rising sun
Is just a fading one
I know there’s not many places left to hide
Nothing covers bitterness kept inside
Scarce lights over stair flights, oh no
It all seems to spiral out of control
Wait, how did this happen?
How did this happen?
I stormed the front
The only one
Fate, how did this happen?
How did this happen?
The setting sun
Is an unsettling one
I know there’s not many places left to hide
Nothing covers bitterness kept inside
Scarce lights over stair flights, oh no
It all seems to spiral out of control
I know there’s not many places left to hide
Nothing covers bitterness kept inside

Solitude

I’m seeing faces on the wall
I’m seeing faces on the wall
And I can’t hear at all
No I can’t hear at all
They might be closing in
It seems they are closing in
When will I give up
When will I give in
Their eyes are watching me
Turning lights to stone
The air is cold and scarce
Sensations of being alone
When their faces fade away
I wish they’d rather stay
There is something more I’d see
Something more than company
The walls are closing in
When will give in
The blinds are closed
And I am blinded
They all scream
I can’t find them
Missing for so many years
Their past smells like
A lost dog’s fears

I can’t stay here
Everyone I know is leaving
Leaving
I have the same fears
All the signs I see deceive me
Deceive me
I’m not convincing
Everyone I know won’t believe me
Believe me
I must be naked
Everyone I see is staring
Staring
I’ve been forsaken
No more will I be endearing
Endearing
Somebody save me
I feel the onset of seething
Seething

This is the last place I want to be
Disorder prevails against harmony
Variation is a bullet with wings
Vast separation is startling
Maintain, maintain, consistency
Maintain, maintain, consistency
Beyond the door is for another time
You proved your point please move aside
These days are all so stained with pride
Take my word take a look in my eyes
Maintain, maintain, consistency
Maintain, maintain, consistency
I know I’ve said a million times
There is no secret in between the lines
Maintain, maintain, consistency
Maintain, maintain, consistency

Dreaming of You

When you said you went away
I was hoping it would be forever
Then you came through the back door
I thought I would see you never
Dreaming, I’m not dreaming of you
When it all fell apart I knew
Dreaming, I’m not dreaming of you
It’s not all that hard to do
Silence makes its subtle way to me
I hope it will stay here forever
But sirens play their song for me
They don’t care to stop for me, they never
Dreaming, I’m not dreaming of you
When it all fell apart I knew
Dreaming, I’m not dreaming of you
It’s not all that hard to do

Don’t fall down
Don’t fall down
They’re telling you again
Telling you again
Don’t fall down
Don’t fall down
They’re saying once again
Saying once again
Last chance, last chance
There’s no hope, no hope
Last chance, last chance
There’s no hope, no hope
Don’t wake up
Don’t wake up
They’re testing it on you
Testing it on you
Don’t wake up
Don’t wake up
They’re hiding this from you
Hiding this from you
Last chance, last chance
There’s no hope, no hope
Last chance, last chance
There’s no hope, no hope

What’s never there
Is what gets to you
Everything else gets
So misconstrued
Dispirited thing
All covered in green
True desolation
Hides behind a screen
Its shape is silent
Not to be seen
I didn’t know
You had those kind of dreams
Maze of graves, maze of graves
Maze of graves, maze of graves
Maze of graves, maze of graves
Maze of graves, maze of graves
What’s never there
Is what gets to you
Everything else gets
So misconstrued
Dispirited fiend
All covered with me
True desolation
Hides behind a screen
Its shape is silent
Not to be seen
I didn’t know
You had those kind of dreams
Maze of graves, maze of graves
Maze of graves, maze of graves
Maze of graves, maze of graves
Maze of graves, maze of graves

Alternate Ending
02:43

|
You’re getting close
Nearing the edge
There’s no escape
You can’t rewind the tapes this time
I feel your pulse
Unsteadying
Skin menacing
And it just takes time to lose your mind
You approached me from the hallway
You turned your head like you always
You left your post
Who’s watching me?
I see a ghost and she stares
At the sky with her vacant eyes
You’re getting close
Nearing the edge
There’s no escape in sight
You can’t rewind the tapes this time
You approached me from the hallway
You turned your head like you always

Trepid wings cover me
And cloaks of failing motion
Slit our eye so we could see
Encoded motion
I’ve known for quite some time
They would find your hand
I watched from the window
But you don’t understand
That’s all I know
That’s all I’m used to
See the skull on the wall
My symbol of affection
See the ants how they crawl
And you with no reflection
We tried to get away
And graze the white ocean
Our tongues they touched the sky
And burned with intrusion
That’s all I know
That’s all I’m used to
That’s all I know
That’s all I’m used to
