Distortion of Senses
(<em>Instrumental</em>)

The lungs of hell are gasping for air While I breathe deeply in a dreamless sleep A faint whisper of a shapeless presence Sent to wake me from my dormancy And pull me down to the edge of my imagination Unease, discomfort Building up to confused terror Rules I've known do not apply Daunting shift in comprehension Losing my grip, losing agency This is all I never wanted Shaken and appalled Unable to move Steps I ought to take Fall on broken glass Took my decisions with no second thoughts Blinded by my shining facade But now as it starts to crumble Its shattered fragments bury me Took my decisions with no second thoughts Blinded by my fading charade But now that it's dissipating The bridges behind me are burning So I fail in betrayal A king of ancient tale Deceived, misled, stabbed in the back Contempt is all that I have left So am I to retreat To mediocrity? A path that wasn't meant for me Yet suddenly it's all I see. Forced to concede The questions remain Is this confined? And what am I to be? So I fail at denial Washed up on this small isle A glimpse of what I used to be Now walls are closing in on me Wake up from your sleep Wake up from your dream Wake up from your sleep Wake up to your nightmare My dream is over and it won't come back No order, no structure remains You say the journey's the reward So I must have gone astray How ignorant of me Covered up with empty phrases My supremacy, it was founded on sand The ground under my feet is dissolving In a lye of pain and despair The abyss below me opens its jaws And I drown in the laughter of numberless mouthless wights I'm drowning in this vitriolic water Although I'm so close to the shore So close to the shore, yet so far from the shelter So close to the source, yet so far from release Depravity and deceit invade my mind An overdose of the deep, cold stare of the void inside No way to refuse this injection No way to antagonize the effect Resistance declining under endless pressure No one can fight what no one can decide My last clear thoughts are drenched with hate Before my total inner collapse Trying to find all the answers Dying before even having a clue The tragedy of a man unfit To come to terms with incompleteness Searching for the lost continent That was swallowed by an ocean of pride He never even considered the fact Of his first steps falling right on its shores This is all I never wanted
