Slumber Asylum

Inborn Suffering

This stain on the wall 
 Is a picture of my soul 
 So dirty and ashamed 
 Neither free nor tamed

 Carving my beliefs into stone
 Burying my own existence
 Never ascending to the throne
 Forever far in the... Distance

 Falling deeper and deeper
 Into the realms of slumber
 Abandoning this filthy abyss
 Turning my dreams into glorious bliss

 Sleep all night and day
 Trying to dream the dream again
 Another beast to keep at bay
 Another move to rid the pain

 Though reality makes its way 
 My feet made of clay
 My body so painful
 I have been such a fool

 Eyelids heavy like lead 
 Mysterious consciousness 
 Between the living and the dead 
 Transcending my acuteness
