Lucid

(album: Dysphoria - 2021)

I tell myself it isn't real
Open my eyes, but I still feel

Please wake up
This isn't real
Come to find I'm not asleep

Terrified, I toss and turn in a bed of horrors designed for me
Treading in my most vivid fears
A debt paid to nullify the pain I've caused

From the depths of my mind
You can't hear my cries
Am I still alive?

No!

Trying to find a way out of my head
Something deep inside me won't let this end

Now the current pulls me deeper in
And I'm sinking through the floor
Faster than the naked eye could recognize
I am consumed

Why am I forced to relive this trauma again and again?
Time to pull the fucking plug and put me to rest

From the depths of the mind
You can't hear my cries
Am I still alive?

Cold
I'm paralyzed
Let me out of my own mind
I'm trapped inside
Suffocating

Consciousness treading underwater
I cannot reach the surface
There's no escape
From the intruder
Vestibular motor
Falling for eternity
There's nothing left of me now

Nothing left of me now

From the depths of my mind
You can't hear my cries
Am I still alive?

Far from reality
Now my eyes have seen
The truth in a dream

Suffering, save me from this nightmare
Lucid dream, please let me be
Free from this agony
