Fateless Tears - Mesmerized

Tweet

Safe in your bed when sleep overcomes you Do you yearn for insensibility? Seeking a refuge amidst the chaos Consciously escaping reality Do you resurface from a dark daydream? Choking on someone else’s stifled scream Does the apprehension come from outside Or does the dread come from in your own mind? Looking at the world through another’s eyes Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized Do you wake as screams shatter the silence? Held captive to nightmares of things to come Chilled to the bone, shaken to the core Wishing for the solace of oblivion Do you awaken from a reverie? Remembering something you’ve never seen Does the apprehension come from outside Or does the dread come from in your own mind? Looking at the world through another’s eyes Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized When you fall asleep do you lose control? Revisit places you’ve not been before Do you cry for no apparent reason? Do you sense that something is wrong? Do you not see the other rising? As it takes over everything Does the apprehension come from outside Or does the dread come from in your own mind? Looking at the world through another’s eyes Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized Touch, taste, sound, smell and something else Somewhat outré but recognizable On the brink of sight, drawn to the edge of night Following a sylph into the unknown

Safe in your bed when sleep overcomes you
Do you yearn for insensibility?
Seeking a refuge amidst the chaos
Consciously escaping reality



Do you resurface from a dark daydream?
Choking on someone else’s stifled scream

Does the apprehension come from outside
Or does the dread come from in your own mind?
Looking at the world through another’s eyes
Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized

Do you wake as screams shatter the silence?
Held captive to nightmares of things to come
Chilled to the bone, shaken to the core
Wishing for the solace of oblivion

Do you awaken from a reverie?
Remembering something you’ve never seen

Does the apprehension come from outside
Or does the dread come from in your own mind?
Looking at the world through another’s eyes
Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized

When you fall asleep do you lose control?
Revisit places you’ve not been before
Do you cry for no apparent reason?
Do you sense that something is wrong?

Do you not see the other rising?
As it takes over everything

Does the apprehension come from outside
Or does the dread come from in your own mind?
Looking at the world through another’s eyes
Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized

Touch, taste, sound, smell and something else
Somewhat outré but recognizable
On the brink of sight, drawn to the edge of night
Following a sylph into the unknown
