[Verse 1]
Just save the child
Leave me to die
No escape, no one cares
Purple lightning, spheric shapes
Body fears what mind creates
I swim across
I won't wake if you don't sleep

Or will you try to escape?
Doesn't matter, you're fucked either way
[Chorus]
I am the god of sick dreams
A city torn by mischief
Your fantasies still buried
I am the god of sick dreams
