lucid threshold

The edge splitting though the dawn
An ocean away from home
In severance I weigh the cost
Alone I am better off

Drop faster now, impact and drown
My mind uprooted, adrift and lucid
And I am running down
The hours till I go
Emerge in waking life

Can we stay a while?
Asleep in another world
Escaping time and memory
In a lucid dream
Can we stay a while?
Asleep in another world
Escaping time and memory
In a lucid dream

The skulls we've painted over
Just close your eyes, approach the threshold
This world forgotten

Translate the modicums
Of silence within a song
Life pulsing through your palms
Storms prefaced by the calm
Awake to the sound
Coming from another realm
We converge within

Can we stay a while?
Asleep in another world
Escaping time and memory
In a lucid dream
Can we stay a while?
Asleep in another world
Escaping time and memory
In a lucid dream

The skulls we've painted over
In abstracted shapes and color

Emerge in waking life
Vanish in stasis
Convulse
Hallucinate beyond the lucid threshold
Emerge in waking life
Vanish in stasis
Convulse
Vanish
Sink into the earth
