lyrics
Unlocking the stored
The stored memories of my soul
Intertwining DNA
As I lay
Longer I will stay
The forcefield that surrounds this
It must be broken to see through
Faces of the past and present seem to haunt me
But this is where I come from
My mind and time have intertwined
First I was there now I'm here
Spirit is alive
Swiftly I awake
Reality is flawed
Distorted faces
Swiftly I awake
Reality is flawed
Whispers like screams
So hard not to listen
Inanimate objects
Coming to life
Life is based on fear
Here there might be silence
Drifting off as my pupils
Return to the back of my skull
I have found peace in knowing
I belong to the Earth
Knowing I belong
This blessing it must be
Showing me plenty
Our minds do get locked in transit
But end up seeking elsewhere
This journey I will try to keep
For this realm I've got to peak
Forever looking bleak
Surrender thee
But this is where I come from
My mind and time have intertwined
First I was there now I'm here
Spirit is alive
Swiftly I awake
Reality is flawed
Distorted faces
Swiftly I awake
Reality is flawed
Whispers like screams
So hard not to listen
Inanimate objects
Coming to life
I have seen the light
Fear is an idea
Caught adrift in the mist
At peace when I rot
Life is based on fear
Here there might be silence
Drifting off as my pupils
Return to the back of my skull
I have found peace in knowing
I belong to the Earth
Knowing I belong
There's no turning back now
I've crossed paths with all seeing eyes
They will remember me
But I won't remember this life
I know there is better for me out there
Alone
