Beneath The Sleep

I rose from this futile recovery
And frames have flashed in front of me
That I have dared to dauntlessly link together
They’re still haunting me
The things I’ve seen
Reflect the faces of myself that I’ll always keep
And the darkest corners of dream
Locked away beneath the sleep

But still it grows
I can feel it cutting into the heart of my whole
There’s so much I still don’t know
Will it replace the me that wakes
Will it take control away
Is this shadow here to stay
On the other side of this wall that I have build to stem the tide
There stands another me
I’ve often seen through his eyes
His work would leave you breathless
It eats me up inside

I don’t recognize the man underneath
He wears the face that’s so familiar
And I can feel him cover every inch of me
I’m afraid of giving into it and the horror to come

And as these heavy eyes begin to close
This pervasive image shows
A killer with my hands
And as his blood runs cold he
Takes the stranger by the throat
And the hardest part has been defining the divide
Where do I decide to draw the line
Between the me that I want to be
And this monster of whom I still dream

Take what you’ve heard as a warning shot
Who can say what I am not
Can you tell me what I'm capable of
Cut them apart and the nightmare stops
Will I ever know this peace?
This will never end as long as I breath

Am I just a hopeless host?
Am I a slave to this sleepless ghost?
And will I lose what matters most to me
Most to me

What have I yet to become
Have I yet to become
What have I yet to become
What I have yet to become
What have I yet to become
Have I yet to become
What have I yet to become
What I have yet to become

I don’t recognize the man underneath
He wears the face that’s so familiar
And I can feel him cover every inch of me
I’m afraid of giving into it and the horror to come

I don’t recognize the man underneath
He wears the face that’s so familiar
And I can feel him cover every inch of me
I’m afraid of giving into it and the horror to come
