Night Mirror

Unconscious waking I tread
Through dead-end hallways and mirrored stares
Slice of life razor thin
Tormented by the undead

Why dare to challenge my rise?
Assaulting dominant masterminds
In dreams I meet the divine
Subconscious waking denied

Walk Straight, on course (heads up)
Camouflaged in uniform (mind shut)
Soldier in, soldier out
Bandaged with a sense of doubt (hands up)
Stand on guard in five dimensions
Fall asleep to comprehend them (delirious)
Shotgun shaman ra-tah-tatting
Heads Up – Mind Shut – Hands Up – Shut Up

Chorus:
Wake Up! spells are cast in this underworld
Held Up by the gun in my head
Crack Up; I am tortured by screaming silent cries
I will end up mourning light’s suicide

Interlude:
A stitch in time is wrinkled in this nightmarish lair
I sleepwalk with precision in my long underwear
From catheters to hindsight close those eyes that conspire
Recover the shed remnants of my long lost dead desires

I wake to challenge my rise
Assaulting dominant masterminds
In dreams I walk the divide
Subconscious waking denied
WAKE UP!
