When I wake up and scream it's not because I'm scared
and I sure don't mean to scare you.
I have these recurring dreams that line up with recurring realities,
parallel lines i trade back and forth.
The more I sleep the more they start to meld, I'm afraid
the two infinite lines have grown so close they have collided.
there's no way to right the ship.
I want to feel guilty,
I want to feel guilty, but all i feel is calm strangeness.
I'm next to you, I watch you sleep.
I peer out the window, see a flash.
a meteor shower up close to the glass.
Memories spiraling, mine and yours,
future and past in a chaotic dance.
We're falling in love in universal collapse.
I dance with the shadows in my room
And spiders climb the walls,
I'm scared, so I dance.
I watch you sleep, i know you.
I know you will be there in the last moment we share,
Your spidery fingers through my hair.
Your shadowy breath behind my ear.
A look in your eyes - a look of relief, and now i know
you were here to calm me in this last frantic horror.
In the end, we get to know there really is an end.
A swift decay... sublime relief.
It took forty two seconds for the bomb to drop.
We want to feel afraid but all we feel is calm strangeness.
I dance with the shadows in my room
and spiders climb the walls
I'm scared
I dance with the shadows in my room
and spiders climb the walls
I'm scared, so I dance
It took forty two seconds for the bomb to drop.
we want to feel afraid but all we feel is calm strangeness
