Silken Chains

Wide awake at midnight
Paralysed, unable to move

Consciously sleeping
Paralysed, unable to scream
Held down by chains of silk
Lucidly dreaming
Of the lunar room in the sky
A state of reverie

Falling through the sky
Chasing rainbows
A dream that will not die
Of breaking free from the silk chains

Numb and complacent
In a paradise for fools
Held down by ignorance
There's a visceral feeling
Of a world beyond the wall
A state of entropy

Falling through the sky
Chasing rainbows
A dream that will not die
Of breaking free from the silk chains

In a fool's paradise
Chasing rainbows
Inert and paralysed
He can't break free from the silken chains

[Instrumental]

Wide awake at midnight
A state of reverie
Melting shadows
A state of entropy
A figure in the darkness
Calling from the pupa
Consciously sleeping
Held by silken chains

Trapped inside the silken cage
Held down by the silken chains

Haunted by the game of shadows
Beckoned by the tethered moth
Haunted by the game of shadows
Beckoned by the tethered moth
