| I was born in the middle of a war
|
| The hospital was the last thing to fall out
|
| Located on the dark end of where a street used to be
|
| It was the last functioning building, when the apocalypse junkyard
|
| Put android snipers on the roof in a hidden chamber
|
| Shot full of uppers, downers and all rounders
|
| The walls are created white with silver, red and blue lining
|
| The colours were designed to promote the promise of a fantastic future
|
| A better tomorrow, instead we got this
|
| The dream was at once flown from the IVs
|
| Would pump you full of heavenly metals
|
| That personally hand you a ticket to somewhere better
|
| The 23rd dimension, was where I came to
|
| My coma in the metallic candy-land was once again interrupted
|
| I kept trying to get out, but it always happens
|
| The second our waves overlap
|
| I try to connect hands with her
|
| But she pushes me away
|
| Away from herself and the black velvet ripple that eats up the sky;
|
| It is always behind her
|
| These holes hover over all of us
|
| Maybe it’s a sign…
|
| I wake up thirsty yet again
|
| To the floods of acid rain
|
| Frustrated, from being that close to someone that I could actually function with
|
| I think she feels it too
|
| Even though she is hesitant she keeps showing up
|
| It’s not my dream anymore, It’s ours
|
| No longer content with the dream
|
| But since made only to disappeared objects
|
| I need to feel these objects disappear with my own teeth
|
| I’m sorry if I’ve gotten sloppy with these electronic dreams
|
| But they’re all I have
|
| A cosmic force, of a forgotten element
|
| Keeps the dreamlike solution
|
| Of the perfect dream, the one that may never arrive
|
| The wretched robotic, smoke-stained, amputee night nurses
|
| Try to harmonize my future
|
| They are all tone deaf, their shrieks break the windows that we no longer have
|
| Icicles fall from the ceiling
|
| Impaling anyone who is unfortunate enough to be taking shelter under there
|
| What am I doing here?
|
| Is this hell or is this hell somewhere much worse
|
| That I will soon taste
|
| Will I ever know of another place, or should I stay?
|
| Will I ever get to feel any other place?
|
| For now my mind may paint other landscapes
|
| But my feet only know of this decay. |
| So I bask in it
|
| If I’ve learnt one thing in this junkyard, it is this:
|
| Things may worsen at any given moment
|
| So no matter if I’m dodging, pushing soldiers into shrapnel, their feet torn
|
| apart
|
| By my dream lover, the one with a monitor for a head
|
| But next I could only have me dreaming of such luxuries
|
| I often think of pulling the plug
|
| But I’ve heard it only gets worse
|
| The ancients tell me to enjoy this hell
|
| Because it’s angelic compared to
|
| Door number 23 |
