Lyrics
I wake up in the night,
still awake but paralyzed,
and you are there hovering over me.
I can't believe my eyes,
Trusting myself is unwise,
but there you are still hovering over me.
My better nature tells me,
this is a fairy story,
but without trying I can feel you.
An undigested bit of beef,
brings back of an old motif,
but in this moment you are here.
A waking dream,
of my invention,
does not conform ,
to comprehension,
lost in Hypnogogia again.
These animated figments,
ambiguous in their malignance,
have opened up a portal over me.
Wondering if these phantasms,
are weighing all my malefactions,
and are they here for my reckoning?
A chance to recreate,
the circumstance of my mistakes,
to speak the language of the speechless.
In the shadow of moonlight,
is this the way to make things right,
or are you the core of my weakness?
A waking dream,
of my invention,
does not conform ,
to comprehension,
lost in Hypnogogia again.
Immobile and bedazed,
by the look upon your face,
I am both in awe and terrified.
A moment to connect,
with one I had on such effect,
what urge do you need satisfied?
Apology or a decree,
some rare form of alchemy,
some otherworldy threat,
something that hasn't happened yet.
Or just some subconscious scheme,
to straighten out this Philistine,
and only a dream.
My better nature tells me,
this is a fairy story,
but without trying I can feel you.
In the shadow of moonlight,
is this the way to make things right,
or are you the core of my weakness?
A waking dream,
of my invention,
does not conform ,
to comprehension,
lost in Hypnogogia again.
Morpheus can read your mind,
Morpheus will always find,
all the things we keep inside,
all the things we try to hide.
