lyrics

Sleeping in my bed tonight
Awakened by an awful fright
My neck is being bit off by a turtle

Confusion as the masses fall
Running for my life but all
Futility of living in despair

Descend down to the pit of the staircase
And step on butcher paper
I see my body hang in this place
And I wake up moments later

Being swooped down from the sky
A seeping death wafts from on high
Destruction comes floating in the air

Feeling that our doom is nigh
The darkest purple in the sky
It kinda sorta looks just like a yin-yang

One day I awoke, I was billowing smoke
Fire glowed, ash streaked the sky
Months of despair, wings stretched up high
And I flew away from you

I fly high to the top of the sky
And I tear through all the paper
Staring straight at the face of god
And I see she has a mustache

Sneaking into realms forsaken
Am I asleep or am I waking up
To seeing bodies hanging, bleeding

Wondering if I've gone too far
Ahead I see a door ajar
The light, it flickers answers I've been needing

Once you hear 8 or 10, that's when it starts to make sense" ... more
