Under Burning Waters

(In the) dreamland of my being
Wastelands, vastlands, dreamplains
A mental blur where pain lives in oneiric shades

Fear and regret is eating me alive a thousand stabbing knives
Under burning water
I resurrect

A rollercoaster of emotions
Sounds arrive without heed
From every wind, in drops and whispers
Painting canvas in my mind

Have you ever buried the stains?
Try to hide deep enough those remains
Who you were is who you’ll ever be
Spent your whole life crafting a fantasy

Carrying the burden at all times
Stretching limits til’ nothing is
A big black hole
From the inside oblivion one seldom returns

On the perennial downward slope
For self-annihilation
You’ll be pleased to find
Everyone is so nice
