Must not be easy for you
I'm trying so hard to get inside your trusting mind
Tired eyes adapt to read the symmetry
Of empty spaces outlined
Follow the sound of a whispering that's all around
Subliminal designs abound
You worked so hard to climb this far
Will you remember who you are
Trade one burden for another
Lie Awake
I'm burning inside - Pareidolized
A tidal swell deep within the shell
A call that won't abate
Gone a minute or a day, I can't tell
And I thought I knew you so well
I'm lost for words you've lost your way
Gone a minute or a day
As we were walking hand in hand along the sand
I stumbled and you fell
Now I don't understand
Lie Awake
I'm burning inside - Pareidolized
A tidal swell deep within the shell
Calling out to my island made of preconception
Outlined by a need to believe
And though it seemed to insulate
Drown in the wave of sound that awaits
As I try in vain
Desperately striving not to strain
Desire not to feel desire
Adding more fuel to the fire
Yet unaware there's nothing there to gain
Crawling, unrelenting like ivy
Dawn of a new melody
A thundering silence overwhelms this spell
That sirens have cast over me
Crawling like ivy fog is rolling in
From all directions it's calling
(...A path is opening...)
Lie Awake
I'm burning inside - Pareidolized
A tidal swell deep within the shell
Calling out to my island made of preconception
Outlined by a need to believe
And though it seemed to insulate
Drown in the wave of sound that's awaiting now
And when I learn the things I know
Won't it be quite a show... quite a show
