lyrics
Dream sequence part 1
I have this dream at night, I feel I'm swimming in the ground, I have no fingerprints, it takes
me 1800 hours, I am a failed attempt, I'll build a mansion out of string, I'm tied up to a chair, I won't tell you a single thing
I still have my hands, my brother's gone, he had eight eyes and wordless songs, we'll take our time, say our goodbyes, and stand in line to be long gone
in the end in the end in the end I've got a trigger finger, I saw the bright lights, I didn't think twice, and if it sounds right, and if it sounds right, take the right sound and show it to the red light
Dream sequence part 2
the sky is glowing blue, heat radiates off the road in waves, blurring the snow- peaked mountains on the horizon. I enter the white building as it suddenly appears next to me
in my sorrow in my sorrow, I can't sleep, i can't sleep
I know I've been here before but I can't place it, it's on the tip of my tongue. I see the man who is waiting for me, his eyes are too large for his head, and he knows who I am. I see the blade in his hand and I know what he intends to do to me. Before he can move I take my own blade and bury it in his chest. I take him to the ground as his eyes give me a look of total acceptance
I leave him where he lays and walk out the door, because I know that there's somewhere where i'm supposed to be. The last thought I send to him, is better you than me
