A Dream Within A Dream

There's nothing to see
There's nowhere to go
There's nothing to be
There's no one to know
(x4)
Oh, baby
I'll meet you in
A dream within a dream
Take me
A place between all that we
See or seem
Oh ooh whoa
You know I try but can't hear
What you say
Baby
If I should die I'll Join you
In the grave
Oh ooh whoa
Oh ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa
Oh ooh whoa
Oh ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa ooh oh
Oh, baby
I'll meet you in
A dream within a dream
Take me
A place between all that we
See or seem
Oh ooh whoa
You know I try but can't hear
What you say
Baby
If I should die I'll Join you
In the grave
There's nothing to see
There's nowhere to go
There's nothing to be
There's no one to know
(x2)
Nothing
Nowhere
Nothing's
Out there
(x2)
Oh, baby
I'll meet you in
A dream within a dream
Take me
A place between all that we
See or seem
Oh ooh whoa
You know I try but can't hear
What you say
Baby
If I should die I'll Join you
In the grave
Baby
I'll meet you in
A dream within a dream
Take me
A place between all that we
See or seem
Oh ooh whoa
You know I try but can't hear
What you say
Baby
If I should die I'll Join you
In the grave
Immortality of the soul
Nothing is zero
This doesn't exist
The absence of sensory input
The absence of your real body
Anchored in your neural signature
A virtual model
(This is me)
The tragedy of the ego
Dissolves
Nobody is ever born
And nobody ever dies

Your lips
Taste like sulfur
You breathe
Clouds of thunder form
Your lips
Are shaped like mine
And when they interlock
This world will erupt
Your thoughts
Turn to darkness
They'll never
See your kindness
Your name
Is a curse among men
Oh how I wish you would
Let them burn for good
You smile
The heaven's shudder
I found
An eldritch lover
And I'm in love
With the shadows you cast against my cave
And I don't care
If you want me to lie down and share your grave
And that's when you'll go
Uh oh
Leaving this world behind
Forgetting all that you know
Uh oh
And be a liminal girl
Falling, falling, falling fall
(Into the arms) Into the arms of her
Eldritch lover
Ooh di a bop bop, a liminal girl
Ohh di a bop bop, ooh di a bop bop
Tears like nitro
Nitroglycerin
You sing
The wind howls
Your eyes
Are stygian blue
Your dreams
And your nightmares
They bleed into mine
Echoes from your mind
The floorboards rattle
We touch
My nose runs red with blood
You stroke
My hair with a gloved hand
It's worth the pain I face
Feeling your embrace
You smile
Torn asunder
I found
An eldritch lover
Eldritch lover
Eldritch lover
Eldritch lover

A part of me is always screaming
But it's just beyond my hearing
The saviors will chase her
While others debase her
Community service
Befriending the worthless
They follow with smiles
While swallowing bile
She lets them get closer
Once they get to know her
They can't hide their horror
Pretend to adore her
She breaks down
And drives them
Away
The screaming grows stronger
From whisper to murmur
This loneliness is here to stay
There's nothing else for her to say
She's making her own F[r]iends with the shadows in the cave
She's making her own F[r]iends with the demons in her brain
She's making her own F[r]iends with the voices out in space
But when the day descends all her F[r]iends will go away
A whisper wants to be a scream a flicker in the candle flame
Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely
Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely
Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely
Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely
Lonely every single day
Don't mean to push them all away
I always give until I break
'Cause I don't wanna seem fake
And if I do well that's too bad
I've been myself it's all I've had
I always give 'till I go mad
'Cause I'm always so fucking sad
Lonely and sad
It's all I've ever had
Lonely and sad
It's all I've ever had
Lonely oh so lonely
Only fiends for friends
Her still lips trap a limp wish
And let slip with a pained his
Her eyes close and despise grows
Demise close her disguise froze
Buried in silence deafening sirens
She watches them closely eyes creepy and ghostly
She finds a respite in the cover of darkness
She speaks to the shadows recites their responses
She hears a new world as she becomes a
Blightweaver
Shadow's bellows
Blightweaver
Silence's siren
Blightweaver
Shadow's bellows
Blightweaver
Silence's Siren
A flicker flares into an ember that will spark and burn forever
Lonely and sad
It's all I've ever had
Lonely and sad
It's all I've ever had
She's making her own F[r]iends with the shadows in the cave
She's making her own F[r]iends with the demons in her brain
She's making her own F[r]iends with the voices out in space
But when the day descends all her F[r]iends will go away

Goodbye, lullabye
Let me join the nebulae
Rock me in your cradle like the
Winter moon's gentle tide
Let's sing a song that'll put you to sleep
Don't sing along until permitted to speak
La lullabye are you ready to die?
I'll hold you rhand it's okay if you cry
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
Do you see the monsters?
When nightmares fall apart?
No peaking from your covers
This world will break your heart
You shatter your reflection
To manifest your fears
Your hands reach for the ashes
These lives are full of tears
No questioning the future
When you can't leave the past
This entropy awaits you
Let's watch it all collapse
Goodbye, lullabye
Let me join the nebulae
Rock me in your cradle like the
Winter moon's gentle tide
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la

Make me feel alive
Make me feel okay
Make me feel like I
Won't always feel this way
I'm not a human being
I'm a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again
Make me more like you
Apocolyptic dream girl
You and me against the world
Apocolyptic dream girl
Hands together in the cold
She's walked the ground above

(Girl) who we cannot forsake
(Girl) who could destroy us all

Turn them into mystery an enigmatic tragedy

Schizoid angel

Under this scorched earth
Blightweavers patterns

She says we'll take their place destroy the world and rule them all
Lost my find could you help me mind it
Heart of gold mind if I mine it

At night they form circles I come down to watch them and follow their movements and witness their elegance envy their beauty and wish I was one of them
But I always stutter I can't match their rhythm I'd sully the circle if I were there with them the world has a melody I cannot manage I can't match their harmony don't know their language
I know I'm unwanted there can be no harmony while I am haunted by this incongruity
Which has committed me to hell
Because I am
Nobody's sister
Nobody's daughter
Never a woman
Never a bride
Nobody's sister
Nobody's daughter
No heir of Sapho's
I don't belong here
A covenant
That I'll never share
Incongruence
That I cannot bear
A covenant
That I'll never share
Incongruence
That I cannot bare
I know that it happens I've witnessed the others that join in the circle I've watched them get smothered
They're dead on the news and the covenant smiles I've witnessed the hatred the gawking the bile
Flesh is a prison and sex is a sickness there is no belonging as long as it's in us
I hate this I hate this I don't want to be this
I know I'm unwanted I'm nobody's sister
I see no way out of it I see no future
Nobody's sister
Nobody's daughter
I see no future
I don't belong here
Nobody's sister
Nobody's daughter
I see no future
I don't belong here
Don't want to be an intruder
Don't want to be an imposter
Pinnochiette Pinnochiette
I want to be a real girl
I want to be a real girl
I want to be a real girl
A covenant
That I'll never share
Incongruence
That I cannot bear
A covenant
That I'll never share
Incongruence
That I cannot bare

Our Friend The Moon
03:20

They just found out that the sun was a lightbulb
And it's cracked beyond repair
The space farers found that stars were all stickers
Much to their embarassed despair
And comets, they said, were wishes
That died as frozen corpses
The sky was a lie and the cosmos a rumour
And they still don't know who told it
They do not know
What any of this means
But they asked us to say
Just one more thing
That the moon was real
And that it was our friend
And that it would stay with us
Through our brutal and torturous end
That it tried and it tried
With its light and its tide
But could
Never to more than just
Stay by our side.
Later that night, several billion eyes
Stared at the sky as it fell
Their light reflected off its
Cold plastic surface
And a new constellation was spelled

I want to feel my body
Dissolving in your brain
I want to feel your heartbeat as it siphons off the pain
I want to feel my thighbones
Cascading down your throat
So you could suck my cartilage and I would never know
I want to take a hammer
To my ephemeral mind
Then melt off the carcinogens and others of its kind
(Goddexx)
You could eat me whole
But even then
It wouldn’t be enough
Let your skin feel strained
Like birthing pains
Writhing through your love
You’re a nascent God
When I’m in you
Burrowing your blood
You could eat me whole
But even then
It wouldn’t be enough

CAN'T

(Can't correct this fatal error
Can't prevent this system failure)
I'm in error and I can't
Express my fears or discontent
They can't be sent I don't know how
I can't dissent or cry aloud
Can't speak I am paralyzed
Can't escape where peril lies
Can't erase and can't rewind
Cannot think I've lost my mind
Can't correct this fatal error
Can't prevent this system failure
Can't forget and can't remember
Can't recall the tie is severed
Paralysis my synapsis are electric with psychosis the signals mix and what transmits is static hiss fade to abyss a neural glitch a mental cyst cognitive rift thoughts lost within the circuit's blown mind's not my own I lost my voice to neural noise
I'm corrupted and I can't
Return to being innocent
I can't repair I don't know how
I can't recant or disavow
Can't speak I am paralyzed
Can't escape where peril lies
Can't erase and can't rewind
Cannot think I've lost mind
I wish I could destroy myself
I wish I could be something else
I wish I could escaepe myself
I wish I could be someone else
I wish I could erase myself
I wish I could be something else
I wish I could outlive myself
I wish I could someone else
I wish I could I know I can't
Reconcile this contradiction
I can't take this anymore
Can't correct this fatal error
Can't prevent this system failure
Can't forget and can't remember
Can't repair the tie is severed
Can't correct this fatal error
Can't prevent this system failure
Can't forget and can't remember
Can't exist the tie is severed

Nuclear Nitelite
04:28
|
|

Raised as a nomad atop of the scorched earth
I tended the archive along with my mother
Under the orbit of the winter moon
At times I would stray from the path of my coven
And into the homes of those living in ruins
Many were gracious, delighted to talk to
A person from outside the safety they clung to
I soon met a child with wing's of a bat who
Would become the greatest friend I ever new
Nuclear Nitelite, show me the way
Don't let my blind sight lead me astray
Take your Nuclear Nitelite and radiant slumber
I will disguise mine from one to the other
Even when it feels bitter and tearing apart
I will defend you from right to the start
Nuclear Nitelite a world scorched by Blight
Nuclear Nitelite mutations rise to overdrive
"The stars look much bigger reflected in your eyes
And though my world's smaller, I've come to realize
That if we were born in the light of a kind star
It couldn't allow for everything we are."
The thing that I am, the thing on my shoulders
Spreading its stump wings into the cold air
I said "I guess that our God is a cruel one"
They spoke in curses, "Annihilation
Is hardly a God he's just stupid and evil
And he's no creator if we are his people."
I said "I wonder if there is a reason
For which we are altered with every mutaiton
And could we get closer to whatever vision
Our bodies warp towards, a completed demon?"
Then they were silent, I carried them home
My mind would not rest once I was alone
Nuclear Nitelite, show me the way
Don't let my blind sight lead me astray
Take your Nuclear Nitelite and radiant slumber
I will disguise mine from one to the other
Even when it feels bitter and tearing apart
I will defend you from right to the start
Take your Nuclear Nitelite and radiant slumber
After this world's light is blackened and smothered
Even when it feels bitter and tearing apart
I will defend you from right to the start
The wings which once had barely cleared
The span between my shoulders
Now blocked out the sky above
My friend was unfamiliar
And this was what we'd always wanted
The final transformation
They left without a single word
And never touched the ground again.
I lived a half-life
Under the orbit of the winter moon
I made a friend
Outside the orbit of the winter moon
I watched my friend fly
To the horozion of the blazen field
I know they're out their
Soaring the skies beneath the blazen moon
Take your Nuclear Nitelite and radiant slumber
I will disguise mine from one to the other
Even when it feels bitter and tearing apart
I will defend you from right to the start

Silver in my skull
The journey has begun
The pale light feels so cold
Me and the night are one
Dancing in the starlight
Moonbeams
I can see the whole sky
In you reyes
Dancing in the starlight
Moonbeams
Set flight
Soaring
They say there's a time
When all orbit's align
And the smallest moon is within reach
If you can break gravity's leash
The time is prearranged
The package's exchanged
The map was drawn with shaky hands
It charts the moon lays out the land
The map unfolds a slip of paper
Drops and fluttters to the ground
A greetings from the Acolytes
A call to bring the second Blight
Starlight
Moonbeams
Set flight
Soaring
Starlight
Moonbeams
Set flight
Soaring
I know I have family
Beond the dome of this city
And at the aurora
I arranged a meeting
The pilgrimage can take me far
Enough to make it on my own
And with the mad scientist
I'll escape this doomed planet
When the moon is within reach
We will break gravity's leash
When the moon is within reach
We'll cast off this planet's leash
Starlight
Moonbeams
Set flight
Soaring
Dancing in the starlight
Moonbeams
I can see the whole sky
In your eyes

Doesn't exist
Does not exist
Doesn't exist
Does not exist
In a hundred acre woods
In a prehistoric valley
Across the indigo plateau
You are wracked by a perverted
Sentimentality
Sentimentality, blind to reality
'Cause what you want to see's
Never around
Sentimentality, blind to reality
'Cause what you want to be
Doesn't exist
Does not exist
Stare at the sun until
The world dissolves to pixels
Delivered from my anguish
The third dimension's vanquished
The cartoon rapture is upon us
A quick blow to the head and then you're there
Pieced together in polygons
Matching edges, without any holes
An inkwell in the sky and
A part you get to play
(You get to play)
In a hundred acre woods in a prehistoric valley
The other side of the rainbow, you are wracked
By a perverted
Sentimentality
Sentimentality, blind to reality
'Cause what you want to see's
Never around
Sentimentality, blind to reality
'Cause what you want to be doesn't exist
Does not exist
Delivered from my anguish
The third dimension's vanquished
Delivered from my anguish
The third dimension's vanquished

Falling Star
03:45

They say we're born of stars, that some
Billion years before
These hunks of meat were ours
They were being forged
In some galactic furnace
Errant atoms fused
And from the heated surface
Heavy matter spewed
Pressure
Is what keeps a star
Together
Always collapsing on itself
Forever
Pressure
Is what keeps a star
Together
Always collapsing on itself
Forever
Pressure
Pressure
Falling star, dying star
You said you'd like to be a star and I
Was taking notes from in the foyer
Falling star, dying star
Superstar gone supernova I
Could feel the heat from at a distance
Plasma turns to blood
A worm was once a God
Now that the sun's become a ghost
Its afterimage starkly glows
The embers in a coal
All thats left of the soul
Post-embryonic brain
Pretends that its the same
Death can't be undone
Fusion won't return once stopped
Embers form a nebulae
Phoenix roars across the sky
Melt the coal to tar
Create another star
All the nothings merged to one
Nullify the dying sun
Pressure
Is what keeps a star
Together
Always collapsing on itself
Forever
Pressure
Is what keeps a star
Together
Always collapsing on itself
Forever
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure

In the distance, in the night
Your mother's calling
It's time to wake up, don't be late
The bell is ringing
Your friends are there like you remember
Everyone's waiting
It's time to let this nightmare go there's
Nothing worth saving
The world blew up in 2012
And all of this was just a dream
Reflections of the lights of hell
An echo of a dying scream
All the friends I met in hell
Will we meet again in 2012?
All the friends I met inhell
Will we meet again in 2012?
Just a dream
Just a dream
Tucked away in 2012
Just a dream
Just a dream
Will we meet again in 2012?
A tavern hovers in the clouds
Behind its doors a hearth ablaze
Heavy snow blankets the ground
Every footprint's been erased
You walk until the air is thin
The path of clouds comes to an end
The fire roars your table's set
You take a seat with all your friends
The world blew up in 2012
And all of this was just a dream
Reflections of the lights of hell
An echo of a dying scream
On the outside night has fallen over
Every world in every sky
In the window other stars are
Disappearing out of sight
Couples exit stars grow cold but
We're not ready
Let's get a basket of fries for the table as the
Room gets quiet
The world blew up in 2012
And all of this was just a dream
Reflections of the lights of hell
An echo of a dying scream
All the friends I met in hell
Will we meet again in 2012?
All the friends I met inhell
Will we meet again in 2012?
Just a dream
Just a dream
Tucked away in 2012
Just a dream
Just a dream
Will we meet again in 2012?
Here we are the final table
I hear well we've got to go
One by one they reach the exit
Disappearing in the snow
The music's stopped, the talking's over
Now it's only you and me
Like a dream I say "I wonder,
when we wake up, do you think
We'll meet again in 2012?"
